No one is stopping Biden from ending aid to Israel - not congress, not the supreme court, no one. It is only this administration's estimation that doing so would lessen our influence in the region that is preventing it.

Biden is angry and frustrated that the American people don't value retaining and extending regional power in the middle east as much as he does. He cares about us, but doesn't want us to get in the way. Henry Kissinger may be dead, but he still has a lot of influence.

Again, this is overly simplifying an extremely complex issue, and even in your own words you acknowledge the complexity while sweeping it under the rug.

The choices that are presented to and decided by the president are rarely so easily evaluated and it is hard to believe that a conflict between Isreal and Palestine could be anything but extraordinarily complex.

"It's very complicated. Don't think that way. See it the way we'd like you to."

Yeah, you're really persuading me here

Pick a side and stop moving the goal posts please.

Or maybe you are enjoying your life in Russia, in which case I wish you the best of luck.

Ending aid to Israel would be ending any chance he has at reelection. This is the sad reality. Online, the vocal minority is quite loud. But in reality, Israel has broad, bi-partisan support in the USA.

Seems it's more likely to be the opposite of what you've said, based on recent polling.
