Let's start by acknowledging that previous presidents have been able to mitigate the worst excesses of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in the past and that the slaughter we're seeing right now is unprecedented and eclipses even the Nakba. Biden is a committed zionist and has willingly enabled this massive escalation of the genocide. Not only did he undemine Hillary Clinton's negotionations with Israel during Obama's administration, he has now sent two carrier groups to reinforce the IDF. A president with any spine or moral compass on the issue would have negotiated, and failing that, followed through on an escalating list of consequences similar to those imposed on apartheid-era South Africa. The US stands alone as the only major power in several organizations like the UN, G7, and NATO to ardently support Israel's genocide. That could end, but Biden would never do that.
