Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal.

I’m certainly not happy with what Biden did, but it was far from unpredictable. He just carried on the policy of intense support both parties have followed since Israel was founded.

No, previous administrations were willing to reign Israel in - even Trump has proven willing to - Biden was uniqigue in his complete, no limits, full support of Israel’s most horrific crimes since it’s creation.

“We had to violate the law, otherwise the right would call us names!” (spoilers, they called you those names anyway.)
