(65,286 posts)President Biden was born less than a year after Pearl Harbor and grew up heavily exposed to the atrocities that the Jewish People endured during the Holocaust by the American media at the hands of the Nazi's.
Less so by too many indifferent Western Nations including the U.S. that turned fleeing Jews from Europe away so he's particularly sensitive when they're attacked and perhaps with a twinge of sub-conscious collective guilt.
He grew up during the Red Scare and McCarthyism of the 1950s when our society in general viewed the world in very black and white terms, and they just weren't exposed to much mass contrary information.
If you have a family member in trouble for whatever reason, your first instinct is to defensively protect them whether right or wrong, up until a point, and that can/will be different for any given situation.
Having said all that, I believe President Biden loves Israel, but is or is becoming acutely aware that Netanyahu is no friend to democracy in the United States much less Israel.
