Why is the US so afraid to say no to Israel?

Probably because the Jewish community is relatively large in the US and neither party wants to risk losing this voting block

The Jewish community is also divided on this issue though, but I don't know how big JVP actually is. (721K members, not that big :/)

The Zionist movement must have a lot of influence on US politics I guess.

It's really not that big overall
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/the-size-of-the-u-s-jewish-population/

This report classifies approximately 5.8 million adults (2.4% of all U.S. adults) as Jewish. This includes 4.2 million (1.7%) who identify as Jewish by religion and 1.5 million Jews of no religion (0.6%).17




Also has Biden gone senile?

"Nations of conscience like the United States and Israel are not measured solely by the example of power. We are measured by the power of our example, and that's why as hard as it is, we must keep pursuing peace. We must keep pursuing a path so that Israel and the Palestinian people can both live safely and securely in dignity and in peace," he said.

“For me, that means a two-state solution," he added. "We must keep working for Israel's greater integration with its neighbors. These attacks have only strengthened my commitment and determination and my will to get that done."

Does he not see that letting the IDF keep destroying Gaza, ISF keep raiding and locking down the West Bank, is making sure that greater interaction with Israel's neighbors is slipping further and further away... He's currently pursuing a path towards mutual destruction and further generation(s) of hatred.
