the thing i think a lot of people don't realize is that the usa will always support isreal because it is an allied nation with strategic geography relevance to both the military and the oil industry. <- this is a gross over simplification and a tldr but it's the gist of the matter

the president of the usa has three roles: the person, the party affiliate, and the figurehead. with regard to isreal we have to consider what joe biden believes, what the democratic party believes, and what the the figurehead believes, because all contribute to the policies joe biden makes. and when he speaks or passes a policy we have to ask ourselves which of these three faces are doing it. the figurehead will always support isreal because isreal is an ally that furthers usa interests

in order to change what the president as a figurehead believes (regardless of who is in the role) means changing the zeitgeist of the usa to be either more moderate or more pro-palestine, whatever your personal value is

changing the zeitgeist means enacting grass-root efforts (eg, protests and educating your local community) as well as voting for elected officials who share your values on the matter (in order to influence congress)

additionally, it means supporting the ICC's request for arrest warrants and holding those accused of war crimes accountable. if you live in romania, mexico, or benin you should also see what you can do to sway the opinions of judges iulia motoc, maria del socorro flores liera, and reine alapini-gansou, if anything, as they are reviewing the request

additionally, if you live in usa you should see what if anything you can do to protest sanctions placed against ICC officials

simply pinning the relationship between usa and isreal on biden and using that as a reason not to vote denies the complexity of the situation, shows a surface-level understanding of international relations and domestic policy making, and seeks to reduce your perceived personal agency
