  • At 81, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history, with a political career that spans over half a century — one that he built with the help of the pro-Israel lobby. He once boasted that he did “more fundraisers for AIPAC in the ’70s and early ’80s than just about … anybody,” and in turn the president has received more funding from the Israel lobby than any other U.S. politician since 1990.

    In Biden’s view, the Israelis killed on October 7 were “murdered,” “massacred,” and “not just killed, slaughtered.” But when describing the massacre of Palestinians, Biden embraces a different tone. “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war.”

    A useful example of the consequences of this is the now infamous “humanitarian pier” that the Biden administration championed as a solution to get humanitarian aid past Israel’s blockade. The pier was a technical disaster, collapsing in turbulent water after failing to deliver aid and costing the U.S. taxpayer over $230 million. But what it did accomplish was to distract temporarily from the Biden administration’s refusal to use its ample leverage to compel Israel to stop restricting humanitarian aid to Gaza. In doing so, they bought Israel more time to starve the Strip.







  • biden did nothing substantitive, name a something that wasnt just a stronger definition of what obama already did and the rest was tossed in court with no plans, just because you make a token effort knowing it is going to fail and then ignoring it afterwards is not a success. He was a horrible president and is directly and most responsible for Trump being back in office. You are the one rewriting the past. And then maybe you were someone in the narrow minorities he tossed token proclamations at, his assistance using our tax money to turn babies to ash is enough for me to ignore any minimal efforts he attempted
