It’s the country that’s in bed with Israel. Not Biden. Trump may seem like he “doesn’t play by the rules,” but that’s just because he doesn’t know them. But his greed and hatred would see him be 10x worse on Palestine. So buckle up, people. It’s all bad.

AIPAC operates openly it isn’t a conspiracy.
The original questioner fails to realize that it isn’t after being sworn in that they pledge support for Israel. It is before being sworn in.
They won’t come into power without the blessing and funding of AIPAC.
