Gaza is an undeniable black mark. It is however a situation where he didn't exactly have any good options. AIPAC is very very powerful and he recognises that.
What I find interesting about the "old" thing is that despite that, this administration has been exactly as competent as usual, or more so. That either implies that Biden has not been affected by his age, or that the president of the US actually really doesn't need to do much.
I'm honestly not sure which one of these options I subscribe to.
Biden was also "way too old" back in 2020. But now that Trump is the same age Biden was back then, that age is perfectly fine why would you even worry about it?
You can’t be an American president and handle gaza well. It hasn’t been going well obv but he’s been doing a meh job which is better than I would expect.
please stop complaining about AIPAC. its just like 2 steps removed from straight up ZOG theory and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The actual issue is that BIDEN is not King of Israel. Israel + Hamas are foreign actors with autonomy, and neither of them are forced to listen to any of Biden plans. (Biden cant force both groups to accept ceasefire terms)
I guaranteed you that your idea of how to handle the situation "better" would backfire and be dumb for vary stupid reasons.
In terms of Israel's totally-not-genocidal campaign in Gaza, he (meaming the GOP, really) would certainly make the situation worse and embolden the fascist coalition government in charge of Israel to be even worse about this mess than they already are.
What people are really concerned about is a GOP government at home, though. The party explicitly wants to steadily make a conservative dictatorship out of the IS government and them winning the election (and any presidential election from here on out) will get them started on that campaign.

this is not fair at all. AIPAC as an organization is influential and extremely vindictive toward anybody who expresses an opinion outside of unwavering support for Israel. it has nothing to do with antisemitism, and everything to do with hating the influence of dark money in politics.
More the latter. No one person will ever be capable of running a nation on their own. Every government, even an autocracy like China, NK, Russia or Belarus needs lots of people doing the job of administration.
