According to social media, President Biden has gone from being #GenocideJoe to #JihadiJoe.
Perhaps—and hear me out here—perhaps he’s neither but is doing his best to navigate an incredibly complex and dangerous situation with strong emotions on all sides?
@rbreich Read this. #GenocideJoe has fucked this up so badly his failures, bigotry and pandering to fascist Likud may well mean he hands the Shite House back to Drumpf. He and Congress have no idea what anti-Semitism is.
Did Israel coordinate with Egypt before reoccupying the Rafah crossing? - Israel's control of the Philadelphi Corridor raises questions on whether key peace agreements with Cairo are at stake (Middle East Eye, 2024-05-07)
———
“Israel's control of the Rafah crossing may present a threat to a September 2005 agreement with #Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Accord.”
“‘Israel occupying Rafah means occupying the Gaza side of the Philadelphi Corridor, which would be a violation of the 2005 addendum to the 1979 peace treaty,’ International Crisis Group analyst Joost Hiltermann told Middle East Eye.
"’It is doubtful that the Egyptians would have greenlighted this.’
“An Egyptian military source claimed that Egypt has not authorised the Rafah crossing operation…”
Hey, as we speak, #Israel is murdering civilians in the "safe zone" of Rafah that it decided to invade, despite stating numerous times it was not going to happen.
So, when you don’t vote because YOU THINK you’re making some kind of statement, know that the statement you’re making is that you don’t care about trans people, gay people, Black people, Latinos, women and girls.
@StillIRise1963 Well the choice is between #GenocideJoe and #OrangeHitler, no matter what you vote for, the results will be the same for people around the world and Americans will possibly get a taste of their own medicine and enjoying the US foreign policy to be implemented (lightly) on them.
Chris Hedges has been cancelled by The Real News Network
The veteran writer Chris Hedges took to social media to announce, "I was just informed by Max Alvarez, the Editor-in-Chief at The Real News, that they will no longer run my show. The reason for the cancellation, he said, is that my critiques of Biden, especially for the genocide in Gaza, jeopardise his nonprofit status."
So much for independent media. The global reach of Israeli octopus is truly shocking.
Amid growing speculation that the International Criminal Court could issue arrest warrants against #Israeli officials in the coming days over the war against Hamas in #Gaza, a White House spokesperson reiterates #US opposition for the investigation.
“The #ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation,” the spokesperson says.
@MisuseCase
The only one involved in ethnic cleansing jere is Israel and all the American and European immigrants who automatically receive Israeli citizenship while millions of palestins living under an apartheid system and thanks to US veto can't have their own state despite the BS snake oil sales pitch by #GenocideJoe and other American charlatans about a 2-state solution.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu said they will invade #Rafah to "destroy" #Hamas "with or without a hostage deal."
I'm sure the BS machines of Israeli apologists and genocide enablers will keep on sharing the same baseless garbage about the "generous" deal that #GenocideJoe and the genocide apologist Blinken have negotiated.
Who wants to bet they completely ignore this and "focus" on the made up "deal" instead?
Hardcore Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "We must obliterate #Rafah, Deir al-Balah, and Nuseirat. The memory of the Amalek must be erased. No partial destruction will suffice; only absolute and complete devastation."
He has strong position and support in Israeli government. Do not expect him accepting anything less even if the hostage exchange deal have reached.
They want to make Gaza unhabitable. PERIOD.
Nothing short of that is defeat and unacceptable for fascist coalition government of #Netanyahu.
But #GenocideJoe and Israeli friendly media want us to believe that the negotiations are about a lasting ceasefire, removal of all Israeli forces from Gaza and letting displaced Palestinians to move back to northern #Gaza.
Don't fall for their lies
Without strong international pressure z Israel will not bend. EVER.
“We need to know who is going to stand up with us! And this choice is clear. Joe Biden bet on the American worker, while Donald Trump blamed the American worker”
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain
Although this clip is a few months old the sentiment is still true
If you truly are moral, if you truly care about the American worker then you must vote Joe Biden
@flexghost wasn't it Joe biden that told the rail workers they had to deal with it and
get back to work or else? The truth is he's pro-business, #antiunion. And on top of that he sends bullets to kill #palestinians. #genocidejoe has got to go. #eattherich

Largest Israeli airstrike against Lebanon by IDF today!
Israel was reported to have carried out more than 40 airstrikes on various Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
The village of Aita Al-Shaab was rocked by dozens of explosions in the south. The IDF immediately said it had killed several Hezbollah leaders. Whether that is true is questionable.

#BlueMAga really better hope #Trump doesn't get elected, or they'll have a hard time explaining why they're suddenly appalled at a #genocide that they'd been pretty blithe about for an entire year.
I think #BlueMAGA forgets that #Trump has already been president once, and that we can compare the 2 presidents without resorting to hypotheticals.
In that comparison, #Biden committed #genocide, Trump didn't. All he had to do to be better than Trump was not commit genocide, and he couldn't even do that. And that's on nobody but him.
Nobody but #GenocideJoe is responsible for the fact that a reasonable person can look at the two and say, "Trump caused less harm." #uspol#israel#gaza#mi#wi
We are pushing him left by making him lose the election if he doesn't give us what we want. Most on the #AbandonBiden side are still too timid to say it, but this is a hostage situation. Just like GOP voters take the global economy hostage every year with the debt ceiling, we're taking the country hostage over #Gaza. The left can play hardball, too.
