Trump ramped up killing civilians with drone strikes under his administration.

"Airwars, estimates the number to be as great as 7,500."

That's direct deaths ordered by Trump which is completely different Biden allowing an arm sale planned months/years ago to go through.

Biden gave Natenyahu carte blanche after oct 7th and told him the US would have his back no matter what. Biden is in the position to put pressure on the Israeli gov but refuses to do so. The blood is on his hands
