    I would argue that Trump’s four years of increasingly lenient policies on Israel emboldened them to continue and intensify their policies. Maybe without Trump’s interference in the Israeli election, the Israeli left in alliance with Arab Israeli citizens would have returned to power and be able to restart a peace process. No pressure at all from America is certainly a worse situation than not enough pressure, democrats will be much easier to push into opposing Israel, and there’s many pro Palestinian and anti Israeli apartheid state democrats already.

    Please find me the statement where Biden proclaims his support for Palestinian genocide, that is quite the logical leap. I see a lot on American frustration that Israel is not allowing aid through, not allowing time for hostage rescue, and America pushing back on the Israeli plans to immediately rush in to the Gaza strip with a full invasion and no end in sight.

    You can say things like, “Biden should be doing even more to rein in Israel” without saying things that are untrue like Biden supports the genocide of all Palestinians. I certainly want the Biden administration to be doing even more. If you use too much hyperbole though, you may inadvertently help empower the people who do actually want genocide and make no qualms about it. With the Israeli far right facist government doing everything they can to undermine Democrats like Biden, while constantly pushing for Republicans to return to power, that should tell you that Biden does not fully support what Israel is doing from the Israeli government view. And don’t forget to keep watching who the Israeli government does want in power, Republicans, who today are introducing bills to expel all Palestinians from the United States and other racist facist nonsense.

      A Zionist in my heart The Zionist goal has always been to eradicate Palestinians, and now Armenians. Zionists support apartheid and oppression. Biden is a Zionist at heart, therefore supports the treatment of Palestinians. And he’s conflating antizionism protests with antisemitism.
