As Joseph Biden’s US presidency comes to an end, many on social media this week are saying that his legacy boils down to one thing: his active role in Israel’s fifteen-month war on Gaza, which has been widely defined as a “genocide” by human rights organisations, international bodies and scholars.
Biden’s last day as president, on 19 January, is also the first day of the planned Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal that was reportedly pushed to the finish line by the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, though both Biden and Trump took credit for the deal.
This has raised more significant criticism of Biden’s role in Israel’s bombing campaign on Gaza, with the US providing $17.9bn in military aid since 7 October 2023 after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel and the subsequent war.
His unfaltering support for Israel led to the infamous nickname given by pro-Palestinians and social media users: “Genocide Joe”.
No. The ceasefire is going through because it’s a better deal for Israel. Trumps donor is literally a Zionist who pushed for this and made it part of the terms that caused the right wing factions to stop blocking it. This is what the extreme right of Israelis right wing govt wanted. They are celebrating your nativity.
There was no better deal for Israel than unlimited genocide.
ultimited genocide + cookies?
or maybe just free reign on the west bank, the option to restart in gaza at any time with free reign and US backing, and whatever they didn’t announce publicly. Genocide itself won’t stop.
Never stop to consider you might be the victim of zionist propaganda after you cheered when the fascist got in?
Never stop to consider you might be the victim of zionist propaganda after you cheered for the people who perpetrated a genocide.
I never cheered, and we’re not cheering in harmony now so I think I’m good.
