He reduces harm by not doing whatever trump would be doing if he were elected last election.

He could be doing more to try and reduce harm or at least least to promote harm, but trump would have made it so much worse.

Just remember, trump could have been elected in 2020 and been in office the last few years instead while this was all going on. Does anyone think Palestine would be in a better position if that were the case?

You sound in bad faith or unaware of the situation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Israel_in_the_Israel–Hamas_war

“The Joe Biden administration stated that Israel would receive “whatever it needs” to support its offensive against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.”

I guess “whatever it needs” it’s still better than sending israel atomic bombs or draft every american citizen to go there. Make sure to advertise for them so they can still send israel “whatever it needs” and not for example for a third party that would do what it’s needed to stop the genocide.

You sound in bad faith or unaware of what Trump has said.

Trump’s quotes on the genocide:

Israel should “finish the problem.”

On Biden’s administration: “Frankly, they got soft.”

"When President Trump is back in the Oval Office, Israel will once again be protected, Iran will go back to being broke, terrorists will be hunted down, and the bloodshed will end.”

“Fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,” while telling the Republican Jewish Coalition later that month that Hamas fighters “will burn forever in the eternal pit of hell." That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable,”
