    It kind of puts things into perspective when you realize that Ronald Reagan withheld munitions to strong arm the Israeli regime into stopping their bombing of Lebanon. Biden is to the right of Reagan here, that’s how far the Overton window has been moved and why Biden is struggling to get the Democratic base to vote for him even against a convicted felon; he’s not a Democrat in any meaningful sense of the word.

      He specifically withheld an order of cluster munitions over concerns the Israelis were using them improperly, well after the invasion was underway.

      Not too different from Biden withholding the bomb shipments over Rafah.
