I’m not sure it is exactly ‘opposite’ of their point, but Biden being largely on the side of Israel is the reason a lot of leftists have always been unsupportive of him as a president.
Like most liberals, he gives a lot of lip-service to progressive causes, but ultimately finds excuses to avoid having to really upset the current hegemony. The reason he is unpopular despite his objectively skilled politic-ing around progressive issues (i think) is because more people are seeing liberalism generally as a failed political project and want actual change rather than lip-service and half-measures.
His support of Israel is only the most pertinent example of his politics clashing violently with reality.
I believe that’s the opposite of their point. They’re saying he was loudly on Israel’s side well before the attack.
It was an attack. There were and are hostages. Whether it was retaliatory can be a topic, but that it was an attack hasn’t been in dispute.
