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”.
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.
The fuck you didn’t. In fact you rabidly criticized those not cheering.
That ain’t cheering. Just a hefty dose of reality from an antifascist.
You are a fascist. You voted for a genocide. Keep your self flattering lies in your diseased head.
I am not American. I am an anarchist and have never voted. I would’ve to have kept the actual fascist out.
Your cope is pathetic. As deluded as maga. I have dubbed thee red maga. Fell for the psyops. Sad.
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.
You believed the latest propaganda that convinced you to let the worse option in, aye.
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.
