The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

    I agree that Biden’s unquestionable support of Israel is a huge problem, but he’s legit not doing it for the donations.

    He got so much more than any other US politicians, because Israel used to know that no amount of bribes could ever buy that level of loyalty.

    Bibi never got that memo tho, he just knew he could treat Biden like shit and still get everything he wants.

    The real reason Biden has this level of support for Israel is even stupider, because Biden is older than Israel.

    He’s told the story multiple times over the decades, when he was a toddler and Israel was created, his dad told him to promise to always protect Israel because they were victims.

    And it’s fucking insane that over 70 years later that’s what’s been guiding US foreign policy for four years and why we keep arming a genocidal religious ethnostate even though it was a huge contributed to trump regaining office.

    But that’s why Biden will always give Israel everything they want, a promise a toddler made to his dad almost a century ago.
