      You’re right, the PotUS is a completely powerless position, Biden literally can’t do anything! He’s forced to put support bills offering aid to Israel, to fast track weapons to Israel ignoring congress, to have his Secretary of State protect Israel in the UN.

      The President is such a completely powerless position, right?

        He actually structured the deals in a way that they didn’t meet the minimum dollar amount for congressional oversight, which is mind bendingly illegal.

      He doesn’t have to continue selling them weapons. He doesn’t have to keep running interference for them at the UN.

      You should stop making excuses for Biden’s support for genocide.

          I forgot he decides that in all in a magical bubble!

          Biden did not need to circumvent congress to sell Netanyahu weapons that he knew would be used for genocide. No one would have blamed him if he didn’t, and no one was clamoring for it.

          Apart from you and Netanyahu, who would have been disappointed if Biden’s administration hadn’t abused the US’ permanent veto on Netanyahu’s behalf?

          We know what it’s costing Biden. What would not doing it have cost him?
