Since day one, the Biden administration has upheld Trump’s most controversial moves: keeping the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, failing to reopen the PLO mission in Washington, and desperately seeking normalization agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors that erase Palestinians entirely. While Biden restored funding to UNRWA, his administration promptly cut it again under pressure from an Israeli smear campaign.

mainstream media coverage has focused more on Biden’s toothless rhetoric and supposed “frustration” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than on his administration’s support for Israel’s war effort. In doing so, it created the impression that a change in Israeli tactics was always just one more harsh rebuke away, ignoring the glaring reality of U.S. complicity

At 81, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history, with a political career that spans over half a century — one that he built with the help of the pro-Israel lobby. He once boasted that he did “more fundraisers for AIPAC in the ’70s and early ’80s than just about … anybody,” and in turn the president has received more funding from the Israel lobby than any other U.S. politician since 1990.

In Biden’s view, the Israelis killed on October 7 were “murdered,” “massacred,” and “not just killed, slaughtered.” But when describing the massacre of Palestinians, Biden embraces a different tone. “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war.”

A useful example of the consequences of this is the now infamous “humanitarian pier” that the Biden administration championed as a solution to get humanitarian aid past Israel’s blockade. The pier was a technical disaster, collapsing in turbulent water after failing to deliver aid and costing the U.S. taxpayer over $230 million. But what it did accomplish was to distract temporarily from the Biden administration’s refusal to use its ample leverage to compel Israel to stop restricting humanitarian aid to Gaza. In doing so, they bought Israel more time to starve the Strip.

time, you live on lemmy forcing people to abide by your uneducated comprehension of the english language

biden did nothing substantitive, name a something that wasnt just a stronger definition of what obama already did and the rest was tossed in court with no plans, just because you make a token effort knowing it is going to fail and then ignoring it afterwards is not a success. He was a horrible president and is directly and most responsible for Trump being back in office. You are the one rewriting the past. And then maybe you were someone in the narrow minorities he tossed token proclamations at, his assistance using our tax money to turn babies to ash is enough for me to ignore any minimal efforts he attempted

more like she towed the biden line of incompetency and bombing Palestinian babies. its hard to quantify the magnitude of failure that was the biden term and then his gnarled fingers clinging to the presidency and ruining most of Kamala's chance of having a proper campaign, am I right? I cant wait to vote for Israel is his number priority Schumer to build cohesion in the party with is and that golem in congress with their glowing charisma

I did not wish death on anybody, and it does not mention anything about pain. You are twisting the words in the rules to keep your feeling from being infringed. I have not advocated violence either. I have been called a ton of slurs and had hateful speech directed at me, which it seems is permissible as long as it promotes group think that is not uncomfortable.

I am not violating any rule and you need to take some time and read the dictionary and understand what the words you used actually means
