He's still been giving them tons of weapons and bypassing Congress to do that. Even delayed weapons have been going through so it hasn't really mattered in the end because they have enough weapons to cover them during a delay or two. Plus any delays are made up for by other expedited shipments. Once again, just words and theater. They're pantomiming for each other's base and opposition basically. The US just needs the slightest excuse from Israel that they won't bomb civilians, despite continuing to do so, and then it's bombs away. Not to mention all the criticism and excessive force approved of by Biden against pro Palestinian protestors. Materially, there's no difference.

So far, from what I've heard and seen, I have much more faith in Kamala on this issue than Biden. Which isn't much, it's a low bar, but she isn't actively causing a genocide, so she's got my vote more than Biden. Not that it means anything in this system that barely passes for democracy, because of the state I live in.

Biden doesn't care about the illegal settlements either. He says he does, but he hasn't done anything to change the fact that they're increasing, nor the facts on the ground in terms of settler violence. He put out a few sanctions on like 4 guys, ignoring all the others, and sanctioned one military unit, which is still getting money because of the billions of dollars we give the rest of their government. They need to sanction the whole government like they do Russia for Ukraine, or at least high up government officials or business leaders. Otherwise, it's just for show, like shouting ACAB while arresting one bad cop, and then giving the rest of the corrupt department money, military vehicles, and promotions.

Rhetorically, they say different things, sure, but in terms of how things affect Palestinians, they're basically the same. Biden just wrings his hands and shakes his head more before giving Israel the weapons and money, while Trump high fives them. Either way the genocide progresses at the same rate. They can't bomb them any faster without ruining the rest of the international cover they have, or ruining the land they want to take with nuclear radiation.
