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".

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.

You’re obviously blinded to facts by your emotion.

I didn’t support a genocide. I advocated for the better option for Palestine.

I am an anarchist. And not American. They are not my team. I am just a realist and pragmatic.

I outlined perfectly coherent reasons above.

I advocated for the better option for Palestine.

Are you referring to your brainless copy&paste job that's a fucking insult to compare with active fucking genocide? "An

Why not use ableism as a weapon again? Are you going to tell me I suck Putin's cock next? "Anarchist"? My 'emotions' are making me 'irrational' and I need to be like the 'serious' people who know you need to get your hands dirty and vote for the perpetrator of genocide? To be anti-genocide?

Yeah. Wow. I'm mentally ill.

Fucking piece of shit trash liberal fascist. Smirking fucking fascist still pretending you're wearing a mask.

It's not a copy and paste, well - it is but just a comment I wrote the other day.

Rest of your comment is just deranged ramblings, try engaging with the content.

try engaging with the content

Already did, you bad faith piece of shit. Already responded by saying that the worst stone you cast is less than the thing you supported. You cosigned a genocide. You say the other side is worse because of things that are objectively less bad than active genocide. That's literally your argument with your inarticulate link dump.

That's the state of this debate right now. You're a fucking piece of shit for forcing me into such pedantry that I have to repeat it.

AND I'm going to repeat the fact that you've used ableism and slurs to make your arguments. You're just straight up fucking trash. A nazi in action, temperament and affect.

"Deranged ramblings" Nothing but giving yourself excuses to not engage. If that's your strategy then actually fuck off instead of pretending not to.
