    But he’s not representing the people that voted for him

    He’s doing what the people who will never vote for him and we’re constantly told are dangerous idiots want to happen.

    Why?

        when he’s just spinelessly following all of his predecessors

        Even Ronald Reagan cut off aid to Israel due to their actions against Palestinians which was way less than this.

        Obama also drew lines, and Israel didn’t cross them. Even though Biden argued with Obama over it

        Part of that was probably Obama didn’t spend half a century loudly proclaiming that he’ll always support them.

        Bill Clinton held Israel to a higher standard as well

        This ain’t a binary thing, very few things are.

        Biden unwavering support of Israel isn’t normal for either party

          Reagan sold munitions to Iran, who gave them to Hezbollah. Then after removing aid from Israel, he gave them military aid to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. That fucker is the father of the Israel-Iran proxy war. I give him no credit for removing aid only to manipulate where Israel pointed the guns.

          Biden, as you’ll see in the article I just linked, has declared Israel’s use of US arms to be against agreement, and will no longer supply offensive munitions. He took a while, but it seems he’s doing the right thing now.
