As Trump's inauguration approaches, pro-Palestine social media users say their final goodbyes to 'Genocide Joe'

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”.

    Fucking incoherent liberal fascist anarkiddy. But I repeat myself. I believe the latest narrative? That acknowledges Gaza as being a genocide?

    You’re a dumb motherfucker.

        So far Trump is objectively better than Biden on the weight of the ceasefire deal alone.

        You would have the genocide continue. You deserve what the nazis deserve.

          Afraid not chump

          Adelson paid $20 million in exchange for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last cycle. His window, a megadonor for settlement development in the West Bank donated 100m to Trump with her stated goals being Israeli annexation of the West Bank and a U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in all the regions of the land. Trumps #1 donor above Musk.

          This was part of the deal that stopped the right wing factions in the Israeli govt from blocking the ceasefire. Are they the worse of two evils? Or is the fact that you’re aligned with them escaping you?

          Israeli media reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered enticing proposals to Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including plans to expand settlements in the West Bank and enhance security measures.

          According to Israeli reports, Netanyahu is attempting to persuade Ben-Gvir and Smotrich to back the agreement by highlighting two key points: first, that Trump’s presidency will bring significant benefits to “Israel”, and second, that “Israel” will be able to resume the war if needed, with US support.

          He said that his faction had demanded and “received a commitment” that the method of war would be completely changed.

          That included, said Smotrich, “through a gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip, the lifting of the restrictions imposed on us by the [US President Joe] Biden administration, and full control of the Strip, so that humanitarian aid will not reach Hamas as it has been until now.”

                  Not really significant. It doesn’t stop the genocide. It has enabled it to penetrate deeper and now the West Bank is the main priority.

                  You should learn some nuance - and emotional regulation.

                    You’re right. I should be cold and emotionless about these things. I’m not appreciating the nuance about these things. It’s complicated you see. The status quo conditions before the active slaughter are also a genocide, so us educated people can equivocate the two things.

                    I’ve fucking had it with you bloodless fucking ghouls. You want to wear the mask of moral values but you supported a fucking genocide just because it was your team in office and you think that’s better and you no longer even have a fucking coherent reason anymore. You’re just a fucking nazi that’s still wearing a mask when there’s no fucking point to anymore.
