I would've thought the same about Biden, but seeing not just the continued diplomatic covering being given by the Biden administration to the Fascists in in the Israeli administration after they've been full-out acting their fascist fantasies for weeks but even things like the Whitehouse Spokesperson explicitly using the "anti-semite" slander against those critical of said acting out of fascist fantasies by the leaders of the nation state of Israel, I very much doubt Biden is that kind of leader.
The Public Image of celebrities in general is incredibly stage-managed (I've known a couple of minor ones) and that goes even more for Politicians, and clearly that "facet" of Biden is manufactured bollocks, since when push came to shove he has shown no humanitarian principles at all, only uttering lukewarm meaningless non-criticist fluff and the while in actions continuing to "provide unwavering support".
What's happenned in the last month has shown there is not a single principled bone in that man's body.
Unfortunately, it's just more complicated than that. The Presidency isn't a movie where you can just follow your heart.
We cannot actually halt the Israeli offensive. So we retain more ability to influence Israel by staying on their side, even if it's distasteful and unethical. It's a strategy though, and one that might have better chances of long term peace.
After all, it's not like Israel would stop attacking if we halted our weapon shipments. They have domestic industry. They could just switch to less precise tools once they run out of JDAMs.
