"Doing" vs "not preventing another country from doing" seems to be subtly different.

Tuvalu, for instance, did nothing to prevent the invasion of Ukraine. Damn them.

Yeah, and Biden did the former. He didn't passively sit by. He provided tens of billions in arms, he deployed the US military to defend Israel and to attack its enemies, he shared Intel, he repeated and magnified Israeli propaganda, he blocked diplomatic attempts to punish Israel and he went after countries that tried to sanction Israel. And he did all of this while being able to end the genocide with a phone call.

Biden wasn’t a passive observer. He supplied the weapons and the political cover at the UN including vetoing ceasefire four times.

How many recent US presidents have threatened to stop arms deliveries to Israel? Trump has infact ramped back up where Biden reduced flows of weapons. Trump has proposed ethnic cleansing in Gaza yesterday.

I see BlueAnon have been reduced to making up their own reality to cope with the election loss

Reagan did and he stopped the 1982 invasion of Lebanon calling it a Holocaust. https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/13/world/reagan-demands-end-to-attacks-in-a-blunt-telephone-call-to-begin.html

When Biden was an enthusiastic supporter of the invasion. https://theintercept.com/2021/04/27/biden-israeli-invasion-lebanon/
