You can see the video in the article with the words slow clapper.

I'm aware of the words (which, by the way still do not lend evidence to your aforementioned claim); I'm just curious why one wouldn't cite the primary source that is MSNBC and instead goes with a far-right extremist state-run outlet. Slow clap, indeed.

I pasted the term into the search bar and this was the top article which came up.

Also it does. Biden literally admits he knows that Israel is carpet bombing civilians with his weapons and keeps sending them anyways.

The argument is especially stupid because almost all of Gaza was completely destroyed and bombed to rubble under Joe Biden. When Trump took office, Gaza already looked like this. Israel is basically bombing piles of rubble over and over again now.

Fine, if you really insist on me spelling it out:

Biden reporting himself that Bibi said that we did it too is neither Biden's condoning nor is it Bibi's admission to him that he would carpet bomb with the weapons allocated.

Biden directly sent the bombs he knew were going to be used to bomb those hospitals to Israel

UNSUBSTANTIATED. There is no mention whatsoever in the provided source that Biden "Knew" Israel was going to bomb "hospitals" with the very bombs he provided.

and then lied that those bombs were not being used to bomb hospitals.

UNSUBSTANTIATED. There is no evidence within this source that Biden "lied" — Read: intended to deceive or mislead.

Perhaps Biden thought he had more leverage; perhaps he wrongly trusted Bibi's word. Moreover it does not change the aforementioned counterpoints raised that continue to go conveniently ignored by you that the situation was far more nuanced in reality (after all, it is also true that Israeli civilians were obviously under threat as well, and disarming Israel would jeopardize their safety in kind).

Either way, the ironic part is that this source proves that the Biden administration expressed more concern over civilian life than the Trump administration ever did. So much for MuH BoTh SiDeS.
