The media has always manufactured consent for people to write off Palestinians so that it's easier to dismiss their death/suffering/removal from their own country by Israel. It's ethnic cleansing, plain and simple. But as Biden has stated his own position many times over the years: if Israel didn't exist, we'd have to invent one to protect US interests in the Middle East. Human rights are not a consideration when it means "US interests" (which is really just code for corporate interests) are threatened.
The United States is spending nearly 4 billion dollars every year in aid to Israel. Yet Israel is a very rich country: it already has one of the largest militaries in the world, and provides universal healthcare to all its citizens. Meanwhile, people in the United States die without healthcare and are buried in medical debt they will never pay off.

Having your 12 year+ Prime Minister elected while on trial under indictment is not democratic either.
