Biden supported the legitimate defense of Israel. Netanyahu and Likud abused that support. There are two things going on here: #1) Iran and Iran affiliated groups are attacking Israel. #2) Israel is commiting genocide against the Palestinians. Biden was attempting to head off #1, while Israel re-directed that support to #2.
