Horay! Plus a little war profiteering; supporting a bit of genocide never hurt right? Not like his is the first administration to do it.
I don't think Biden has links to any of the defense contractors profiting from our proxy wars. This isn't a Haliburton situation. And he's been reasonably tough on Israel. There's a reason it's Bernard Sanders who is the only one who can be really tough on them in Washington.
Reasonably tough would be following our laws and cutting aid off when there's credible allegations of widespread war crimes.
We cut off funding for UNRWA for allegations against 12 workers out of several thousand. That's the standard every other country and organization we fund operates by. Israel is straight up killing the journalists reporting on their war crimes and ... Nothing.
To be clear, how we get widespread with a country and 12 with an organization is that with countries we're willing to give aid to specific parts that are better behaved. So it has to be widespread there to be completely cut off. Still Israel has met that standard ten times over by this point.
