long standing policy of foreign aid. biden has also confronted bibi and opposed the harsh tactics against civilians

This point is so frequently missed, some presidents are harder on Israel than others but you'd be silly to think any US leader in this situation would act much different.

Historically, Nixon bailed Israel out, caused an oil crisis. Carter tried, Reagan fucked it all up and blamed Israel. The Bushes, Clinton, and Obama all tried but Trump blew it. He left Palestine out of the Accord and moved our embassy to Jerusalem, which stoked the fires.

Then, foreign aid is genocide.

Biden is not really confronting, as he keeps selling weapons to Israel and bypassing congress for that.

He has to cut weapons supply to Israel, as Holland, Belgium, Japan, Italy and Spain are doing since the ICJ ruling for Israel to prevent genocide source

Holand now has stopped selling F35 parts to Israel to not be complicit with genocide.
