I love reading your posts, generally. But this is well wrong. And in the same vein as @davek apportioning blame to Starmer.
It's nonsensical, IMO, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest reason and surely the most obvious; neither have any power/say/coercion right now on international matters.
Biden is front and centre...and it may cost him a second term.
I will be honest, I often do not have a clue what I am on about and love to be corrected. Serious question, what do you disagree with that I wrote? That Trump is at fault?

Biden has a say, but he also has the misfortune to be in office right now. He won't pull the plug on Israel any more than Trump would, but he's stuck taking the political hit for it because he's in the White House at the moment.
His actions show his breaking point is closer in than Trump's was. He's also a longtime pro-Zionist with the high-up administration officials to prove it, so he's only checking the absolute worst of the abuses. Many Americans would do more, if we traded places with Biden.
Relatively few would cut Israel off in practice during an election year, if presented with the political realities. The demographics in the states that matter suggest that putting the full weight of the Israeli lobby behind Trump and Republican swing state candidates is political suicide. Politicians don't do that. If they would, they already would be out of office. Plenty of Republicans already are, over Trump.

I think the main issue that Biden has is that Netanyahu (and the Israeli government more generally) is the open contempt that they treat him with, as they do all US Presidents sooner (Obama having that Iran deal speech) or later (Trump being rewarded for all he did for Israel by them recognizing Biden before anyone else). There is no lengths, no satisfying of Israeli demands, no support of an indefensible position that a US President would go to that would prevent the Israeli government stabbing them in the back the moment they thought it was in their interest to do so; they do this to all comers and will continue to do it.
Cutting them off entirely is as you say very unlikely, but there is no reason why a lesson in who is the superpower could not be handed out in various forms to various people.
Again, it's worth pointing out that once the campus protests died down with summer break, much of the interest faided.
Most Americans don't care overly about what's happening in Palestine.
If it's not in America, it doesn't really matter.
Gas prices, Asylum seekers at the border, womens reproductive rights, all the woke wars nonsense, interest rates, grocery prices... all these things and more matter more to the average American than Palestine.
Biden just has to hold the course and be seen to be making a peace keeping effort.

The woke deep state lining up against him. Bless his cotton socks. Funny if don king got on the ballot.
"Hires the best people".
I had a lot of issues with the people he hired. However, bad as many of them were, there were lines that even they would not cross and they ended up saying “no more, I can’t support this”.
I fear in a second term the picks will have even lower barriers for what they deem “unacceptable”.

Misinformation at its finest (worst!) again and again. Fake news. Too predictable.
Showing hiring data AFTER a pandemic when there was mass hiring is correct...
...the rest of it is utter nonsense.
Ten democrats to One republican.
No i dont need a reply...or you to "argue" about posting false information.
Its become a competition who can post the most Pro Democrat false nonsense for the most likes.
Shaking my head...

President Joe Biden sparked concerns Monday night when he appeared to freeze for the better part of a minute during a lively Juneteenth celebration at the White House.
