I think the George Bush Sr. Administration probably gave more of Israel what they wanted more than any other administration. Not that that's a good thing. The Iron Dome actually originates from the old Patriot Missile system that was deployed to try and stop Iraqi missiles trying to provoke Israel to enter into the war.
Biden and the Israeli right have not been on good terms. Frankly, he's probably attempting to put Netanyahu out of power. I would bet money that the State Department is actively working with the Israeli Left against him.
Trump probably helped the Israeli people more than most presidents, in that he actually kept Iran in check without starting a new war, and got arab states to look into tourism rather than war profiteering.
Considering its under the Biden admin that has lead to the Left literally starting to schism as their own base starts to side with Palestine over Israel because "brown is victim," I think he might be stuck holding the bag for the literal worst any president in the modern era has done for them.
I think he literally is one of the worst presidents of the modern era, and is actually towards the top with the worst in American history.
I still think it's something like:
Abraham Lincoln
Woodrow Wilson
James Buchanan
Franklin Roosevelt
Joe Biden
I think the only good news is that he's so fucking unpopular that he probably won't have the lasting catastrophic legacy of the others, and he didn't lead to the greatest human tragedies in our history.
The problem with him is that his "legacy" will be carried on by everyone. Not by name, but the policies and beliefs are foundational to his Party and we haven't even begun to get them to change their mind on it. Instead they will simply see him as not going far enough to being a secret Right-winger and double down. We are past the point of policy being tied to specific politicians and well into the Left-wing parties just being figureheads for TPTB.
In fact, their greatest legacy might be how hard they bungle those ideologies.
To be fair, it wasn't his legacy in the first place. We are living in the archetypal example of a beuracracy run wild. The agencies are running themselves, and as such no one is suffering any accountability, ever.
Contrast this with the Obama administration. When people fucked up, they fell on their sword to protect Obama's "legacy". No one is falling on their sword to protect Biden, because he's not in charge, they are, and they don't think they did anything wrong.
This means we have a systemic failure on our hands, and gradual reform is simply not possible. I am not invoking violent change, but it has to be aggressive reform. We can't fire 45,000 government employees, we have to fire 450,000, at least. Government has to be reduced to less than 10% of the GDP, at least. You have to economically decimate DC and it's surrounding federal colonies. Then on top of that, you have to have a full-scale changing of the elite. The entire neo-liberal order must be destroyed, and all of it's minions must be scattered to the winds. There is no head of this snake, we have to push so hard it gives us a cascade collapse. Then, like the Soviet Union and the Napoleonic Confederations before it, all at once, the entire Neo-Liberal order fucking Thanos Snaps out of existence.
