Biden is SO CRITICAL of Israel that he's ready to send them BILLIONS more dollars without Congressional Approval! THAT will teach Israel to STOP!
Technically he sold them weapons previously, not given them billions, although in the voted down bipartisan border bill the concession of billions given are for Israel AND Palestine humanitarian aid.
He's still a piece of shit, but nuance matters imo.
Yeha, he's just making sure he wins the next elections. He knows this is one of the reasons why people won't vote for him. The fact he is keeping it this tame just shows he really doesn't want to affect his relations with Israel. So, after he wins, everything will stay the same way.
I’m guessing you’re his biographer? Maybe his therapist? Are you him?
Gotta be one of the three to know so much about what his intentions are.
Not really. The war in Gaza is unpopular among the population, but there is pressure for him to send aid to Israel. There are not many ways to slime that one out and have a chance to win the upcoming election. Speak loudly what the masses want to hear, do what he needs to appease the more powerful people who can screw him over.
He's a politician after all, his priority is to maintain power at home, not to stop the war in Gaza.
He’s an American president: Gaza is not, not should be- his priority. America is not the world police. And the sooner people realize this/ the better we’ll all be from it.
Exactly, so he should quit sending kajillions of dollars to help them kill children and covering their ass in the UN security council every time they start slaughtering Palestinians again.
How did the US end up owing 150 billion dollars to Israel? Plus, there's also military aid.
Please show me evidence that proves the 14.3 billion dollars from Biden's Israel support request were owed to Israel.
That money goes to both Ukraine AND Israel. Not just Israel. Here’s a breakdown:

Enjoy!
So? Money is going to Israel.
The sum of money I referenced is actually how much money has gone into Israel historically, not Biden's request. It's estimated between 150 and 250 billion.
What Biden requested recently were 14.3 billion, besides the military aid.
You haven’t bothered to look up why that money is being sent, have you? Of course you haven’t. It would cool down your outrage and you’d have to find something else to yell at people about online.
Go learn things. Come back when you’re done.
Military development, iron dome and defense systems.
What's your point?
First you said the US was paying back to Israel, which was false. The you tell me to learn things and come back. You really have issues.
My point is, you have no clue how things work on that level to be making accusations. You’re a random kid on the internet putting actions to people so far above your station that nearly everting you say shouldn’t be dismissed as ignorant nonsense.
Which is exactly what I will do. You’re getting blocked along with all the other tankie kids that spew bullshit.
You have issues, good luck.
Their money? What fucking entitled bullshit is this?
It's a pretty obvious polical move given what we can see.
No, it isn’t. It’s just easy to jump to that conclusion when you start there and work your way back.
Just connect the dots, I believe in you.
