it’s also a little odd how so many seem focused on (…) Biden
That’s because he has the bad fortune on being the president at the time where significant parts of the country (but hardly any of the rich fossils in Congress) are finally having their eyes opened to the horrors perpetrated by the Israeli government for the last 75 years and demanding that the US stop supporting it.
And also because he’s refusing to do so because he’s so much of an AIPAC lickspittle he once bragged about going to more of their events than anyone else in Washington without a hint of self depreciation.
No doubt. But I still don’t understand how this gets rationalized to be a Biden problem. This is a problem with our legislature. They’ve increasingly given more and more of their power to the executive branch over the years. They could stop this in a heartbeat. But they don’t. Because as you’ve said, they’re all complicit.
However, ironically the only party with any sizable group in it seeking to fix this would be the Democrats. And yet people are looking to hamper those very same Democrats by specifically targeting a guy who’s not really that much worse than any of the others. To make some sort of misguided example?

Tl;Dr: Because he’s unlucky but also complicit.

He’s the one giving weapons to Israel.
