So you don't think Biden was complicit in the genocide? The one he funded?

The fact that you place the entire weight of 80 years of US Israeli policy on its most reluctant participant demonstrates your agenda. If Trump was in office on Oct. 7, there would be no palestinian territories anymore. They'd be under the Israeli flag and stained with the blood of American soldiers.

No, I just place the weight of the Commander in Chief refusing to abide by US law, and ending arms shipments to a genocidal rouge nuclear state, and preventing the UN from holding the genocidal rogue nuclear state to account.

Biden was not reluctant in the slightest and neither are you.

So much for the rational bit of your username.

Though, I guess you can be rational and wrong if you start from false premises.

Biden, and any other American president, can end Israeli wars with a single phone call.

Reagan did it.

Bush did it.

Clinton did it.

In fact, the Israeli military systematically doesn't know how to end wars because they've never had to do it. America has always ended their wars.

It's literally an aspect of their political ideology:

'Oh our party can't be blamed for the war goals not being accomplished. We had to stop because America'

You're either so horrifically ignorant of recent history (my still living father is older than the state of Israel) that any opinion you spout can be tossed out (no matter how rational), or you know this and are trying to actively provide cover for a president who was happy with the slaughter of mostly children.

Which is it?

Edit: and to be exact, it's 77 years. And the US wasn't exactly friendly at the start due to the perceived communist sympathies of the young state. You know, the whole cold war thing? You may have heard of it?
