While I completely agree that the US should pull all aid from Israel and hold them accountable to International Law, you forget that almost half of Congress and US citizens still support Israel’s actions. Granted, it’s likely due to media bias, but that doesn’t change the fact that the President represents them as well.
I don’t know, and I wish he wouldn’t. My point is you’re painting a picture that he’s doing this under personal motive, when he’s just spinelessly following all of his predecessors and half of his nation. His recent address states that he will not supply aid to attack Rafah.
Reagan sold munitions to Iran, who gave them to Hezbollah. Then after removing aid from Israel, he gave them military aid to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. That fucker is the father of the Israel-Iran proxy war. I give him no credit for removing aid only to manipulate where Israel pointed the guns.
Biden, as you’ll see in the article I just linked, has declared Israel’s use of US arms to be against agreement, and will no longer supply offensive munitions. He took a while, but it seems he’s doing the right thing now.

You mean republicans?
Mostly, yes. A Democratic President is just as responsible for representing them as they are Democrats. I wish it weren’t true, but that’s the job.
But he’s not representing the people that voted for him…
He’s doing what the people who will never vote for him and we’re constantly told are dangerous idiots want to happen.
Why?

Even Ronald Reagan cut off aid to Israel due to their actions against Palestinians which was way less than this.
Obama also drew lines, and Israel didn’t cross them. Even though Biden argued with Obama over it
Part of that was probably Obama didn’t spend half a century loudly proclaiming that he’ll always support them.
Bill Clinton held Israel to a higher standard as well
This ain’t a binary thing, very few things are.
Biden unwavering support of Israel isn’t normal for either party

Nevermind, it’s way past time to call almost cause a lost cause
