Back that up.
What you posted does not prove the propaganda you've said above.
Oh and...

I just did.
I haven't said a single word to defend Israel's actions, and I'm not going to. That's also fucked up.
That's why it's a good thing that Biden has started to change US policy toward Israel.
But he hasn't.
He's done the equivalent of the slap on the wrist of a completely different person (i.e. not the genocidal government).
Meanwhile he has given that very same genocidal government guns, money, and diplomatic immunity.
Pressuring Israel for a ceasefire, starting on new policies for sanctions, airdropping aid into Gaza, meeting with Netanyahu's political rival Benny Gantz, and the few critical statements the white house has made about Israel are all things that the US would not have done in the past, and absolutely would not be doing now if we had a Republican president.
And there's more coming. No way it ends here.
The goal is to change Israel, not to destroy our relationship with them, and there's a myriad of reasons for that.
That doesn't mean that nothing is changing.
