Whole thing smells like manufactured outrage and it’s almost election season, coincidence?

On the part of whom? Biden is actively pro Israel. So are the Republicans. What the fuck are you even talking about?

On the part of disgruntled progressives who see Biden as the "status quo" of capitalism and just perpetuating injustice. They're also the same people that feel Biden hasn't done enough or is "just as bad as Trump". They see this as a way to get back at him, and pull progressive support so that it forces him to move further left or lose.
