Netanyahu already got the greenlight. Anyone who's been paying attention to what's happening in Gaza would know that.
There is no difference between Trump and Biden when it comes to their support of genocide. Biden is not more "moderate", he's fully onboard and has provided everything Netanyahu needs to continue his war crimes. The difference is Biden is a democrat, which means that he needs to be held to democrat standards, not republican ones. If he's not then the party is functionally the same as the GOP and pretending there's a difference is pointless.
You have no idea what genocide actually is.
What you're seeing is the results of a war.
A few months ago Kamala Harris met with the families of those that are still being held hostage by Hamas. So has Joe Biden. They might understand what's happening a little better than someone that spends their free time looking at photos of mutilated children on the internet.
There is some hope that now that Biden isn't seeking re-election he can do more to make a deal happen to get the hostages released which will end the current iteration of this conflict. So you'll have to find another place to find photos of mutilated children that you can pretend to be angry about.
