    What a weird focus on the US democratic party. Every single US government has been doing this exact same thing.

      What a weird whataboutism. No US government has ever supported israel in a blatant Holocaust.

      Even the Republicans that supported an israeli Genocide told israel to cut it off after 3000 killed Palestinians.

      If Trump was doing this you’d be up in arms. But Blue MAGA all the way.

          A history of U.S. presidents drawing red lines with Israel

          During the Suez Crisis of the 1950s, then-President Dwight Eisenhower leveraged the threat of sanctions to convince Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula, per AP.

          Back in 1981, former President Ronald Reagan indefinitely delayed two shipments of F-16 fighter jets to Israel over the ‘‘escalating level of violence’’ in the Middle East.

          In 1992, the Bush administration threatened to withhold the delivery of $10 billion in loan guarantees to Israel if it continued building settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, the Washington Post reported.
