Then why is no one calling out the congress responsible for it? Biden didn't pass or fund this. He isn't pushing back against it hard enough. But he's not the one that passed it. Or threatened to campaign against him when he just delayed delivery. I don't see anyone calling out mike Johnson.
Yes, I said "our politicians" so everyone responsible should be held accountable
I agree. Basically no one is doing that. But I agree.
The white house runs the state department and the white house press briefings and directs the UN delegation
Congress isn't blameless but Biden holds a disproportionate amount of responsibility.
Apparently, he signed the bills. The old man is not that innocent.

Never implied he wasn't. Only implied that the obsessive focus on him is suspicious and short-sighted if someone actually wanted it to improve things in gaza. He is a small part of the equation and the problem. Mike Johnson has already said that he will do everything it takes to continue the genocide in Gaza. That he and his House of Representatives is aiding in supplying directly.
Congress did not force him to circumvent congress to sell Netanyahu weapons for genocide. Biden did that all by his lonesome, without his hands being tied in any way whatsoever. Biden's administration does not have to abuse our veto at the UN to run interference for Netanyahu. And Joe Biden did not have to deny that a genocide is even happening in Gaza.
Congress didn't force him to do any of that.
I never said he didn't. I just said you all seem more focused at being mad at him than actually stopping it.
