After two months of indiscriminate, illegal, immoral bombing, Joe Biden is finally showing a little concern for civilian casualties in Gaza. Biden, you are 10,000 children’s dead bodies too late.
You have made Americans feel like stakeholders in the most visible and egregious ethno-religious pogrom known in the West since the Holocaust in Germany.
You swallowed without conscience Benjamin Netanyahu’s propaganda that says it does not matter how many dead civilians he creates with American equipment and ordinance because Palestinians in Gaza are not actually human beings, but just inanimate metallic shields that must be blasted through to get at Hamas.
You entered into a devil’s bargain with a far-right usurper in Israel and greenlighted him to act as he pleases with American arms.
You collaborated, co-conspired, colluded and became deeply complicit with a man who cares not that he is smashing the lungs, liberties and the aspirational lives of innocent Muslim children.
Your calculation from the beginning has been a political calculation for personal gain in an election year and an economic calculation to enrich war industries.
You have done as much to debauch America’s ethical, legal and humanitarian urges in two and a half months as it took Donald Trump eight years to do. Do you really think the blood of 10,000 children stacks up that well against his 10,000 lies?
