The “oh hell yes” part. Biden has been calling for Israel to ease up and clearly isn’t supportive of their barbaric tactics, but can’t just cut all funding due to the fact that we have long supported Israel and they’re a key ally of ours in the region.
That apparently is a little too nuanced for folks here though.
“Please stop because support is eroding” and “Stop or I won’t support you” are completely different statements with different meanings and implications.
If a kid is shooting up a school, and I keep providing him ammunition as he’s doing it, am I just an innocent bystander? The US has the power to put conditions on the aid given. They do it for Ukraine.
I’m not going to draw you a diagram of this complex situation. If you can’t be bothered to acknowledge its nuances and see that Biden’s position is definitively not a “oh hell yes” to Israel’s war crimes, no amount of explaining will change your mind.

He can tell them to cut it out. Reagan did it.
