Yea, but you failed to answer the question.
At which point did Joe call up the pilots and pass grid coords to drop the bombs?

But blame where it belongs.

Biden didn't order this, but he had to know that giving money to Israel would cause this. If he didn't, he's a complete fool. We hope this will provoke Biden to declare war on Israel and order destruction of military targets belonging to the IDF, but it probably won't, and if it doesn't, well that's hypocrisy.

If only diplomacy was that straightforward…

Israel doesn’t need the money in order to keep doing what they’re doing. USA needs a middle eastern ally more than Israel needs the USA.

Ukraine, however, would collapse if it weren’t for the money USA is providing (allowing with many other countries).

This bill that was signed to send money to Israel also provided money to Ukraine. You would not get one without the other.

Not at all. Israel has been a liability for US policies not a bonus. Israeli actions undermined US efforts in Iraq and undermined US-Iranian diplomacy. The US defending Israel has generated ill will worldwide, undermined US rhetoric and soft power, and made the US the source of terrorist attacks. What have we gotten from it? Does Israel help in Iraq or Afghanistan wars? Does it vote the way we want at the UN? No and no.

Something between 'supplying the bombs used for genocide' and 'declaring war on Israel' would be just right

edit: a surprising amount of disagreement with this comment
