Can Hamas-Stonewall name an American president who has not been ‘complicit in the slaughter of innocent people’? Maybe Trump?
I’m not sure if you are joking (and apologies if you are), but Trump, Jared and Ivanka were buddies of Netanyahu. Trump even moved the American embassy to Jerusalem to please Netanyahu.

Joe Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, has endorsed the former Meghan Markle’s obvious ambition to become President of the United States, but it is little Lilibet, who was also born in the United States, who will be 55 in 2076.
