He restricted aid in order to dictate how they use it. He was no different than any other republican president in regard to Israel, and set the precedent of controlled support when this Israel-Iran proxy conflict began in 1985.
I agree that Biden is too soft on Netanyahu. We also don’t have an alternative democrat to elect, and Trump is far worse for the Palestinians. I completely agree that we should protest and criticize Biden for his weak hand with Israel. That’s not the same as fabricating romanticism of former republican policy.
Yes, Reagan reduced foreign aid to Israel. Then he increased their military funding to invade Lebanon.

So…
You were wrong, you understand that now?
He restricted aid in order to dictate how they use it. He was no different than any other republican president in regard to Israel, and set the precedent of controlled support when this Israel-Iran proxy conflict began in 1985.
That’s not true, but it doesn’t matter because we can compare Biden to the last dem president
And Biden is on record saying the only strategy that works is never criticizing Israel.or stopping aid.
But we can compare how things went under Obama and Biden, to see Biden’s plan is fucking stupid and doesn’t work.
Even if you somehow can’t understand that it’s a terrible bargaining strategy, we have real world geopolitical examples of it.
But Biden won’t change his mind or strategy due to little things like facts or logic.
