Obama drew a line, Biden loudly squeaked it wouldn't work and the only way to deal with Israel is unconditional support even if they're committing genocide....

Obama's line got them to stop.

Biden giving them a blank check led to this current situation.

Kamala takes AIPAC money too, but she won't be as bad as Biden has been.

It's hard to summarize 8 years of shit, but that article does a better job than I'm willing to do.

Obama just told them to do the Genocide a bit more quietly. And gave israel $38 billion to continue terrorizing the West Bank and Gaza.

Obama says $38 billion Israel aid package to help ensure security

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that a new $38 billion aid package will help ensure Israel can defend itself from threats, commenting in a statement on the 10-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two nations. "Both Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu and I are confident that the new MOU will make a significant contribution to Israel’s security in what remains a dangerous neighborhood," Obama said.
