Israel Controlled Biden, Too

 Apparently Israel's command of US Presidents did not start with Trump.

 When confronted with warnings that famine was spreading across northern Gaza in early 2024, members of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy team could not believe what they were being told. The alarming reports came from U.S. agencies and respected international humanitarian groups, but they starkly contradicted Israel’s version of events. ...

They were being torn to pieces—in many cases by U.S.-manufactured bombs—as the Israeli military  kept up its relentless offensive.

 ...Netanyahu and the fanatics in his coalition were bent on conquest and ethnic cleansing—and not in Gaza alone. They eventually expanded their war to southern Lebanon, while also giving free rein to rampaging settlers in the West Bank. Herein lies another disastrous Biden legacy. His failure to restrain Israel in 2023-24 dramatically accelerated the regional instability the increasingly enfeebled president said he and he alone was qualified to prevent....
