I'm not saying Biden couldn't have stopped it, thats why democrats lost, because they could.

I am saying Trump directly said he would do the same and more for "our ally israel". The Palestinian genocide was gonna happen whichever US president was sitting, because it's an american war machine thing. Also Biden can't veto everything, only after Trump made the US president a king maybe

I agree Trump has expressed similar support for Israel, or even more so in some ways that is scary to think about. My beef is that when it came to the election that Democrats lost the moral high ground in so many ways. A recent poll indicating that up to 13 million more Americans would have showed up to vote if Kamala had broke with Biden on the subject, and I'm sure her praising the Cheney's didn't help either. Biden's position on the Israel/Palestine conflict was deeply unpopular, with around 80% being against it. Kamala also had to go around touting how much corporate CEOs loved her & was afraid to go on any media like TYT cause she wanted all her questions scripted in advance. Not a good look all around.
