    Because, as a country and a people Israel does, in fact, have the right to exist and defend themselves. They are going about it 110% the wrong way, but no American president or congress has the balls to tell Israel “Sorry, kid, you’re on your own, good luck!”

    Until that happens, or some other country intervenes directly in Israel, it will only get worse.

        I’m not denying the genocide, Israel is absolutely committing genocide. Biden’s support of Israel was NOT FOR THE GENOCIDE.

        Biden supported the legitimate defense of Israel. Netanyahu and Likud abused that support.

        There are two things going on here:

        #1) Iran and Iran affiliated groups are attacking Israel.

        #2) Israel is commiting genocide against the Palestinians.

        Biden was attempting to head off #1, while Israel re-directed that support to #2.
