To the extent it's starting to illuminate itself more
clearly, I suppose it's a "good" thing, using the term very loosely.
But a lot of us have been calling Biden a coward and a ghoul for a while now and it's because this sort of thing has been very consistent behavior from him. He's weak, at best. He'll occasionally give status quo lip service ("we should try to limit civilian casualties") - brilliant stuff, very deep - and that seems to convince a lot of people that it's all well and proper, and that Biden is doing everything he can. Because he says Israel is being naughty, but then gives them the money to be naughty anyway. How hard must Netanyahu be laughing? Is anyone surprised he has absolutely zero respect for Biden? Why would he?
Biden doesn't care. He never has. He's a pure politician, like something out of a satirical movie. We're just in a situation where the other candidate is that as well, except substantially more demented and hateful.

Truly absurd and absolutely reprehensible to yet again deny the state of what is going on over there. Not at all surprising though based on who he's shown himself to be.
This begs the question that I would hope any logical person would ask after watching this: what is it if not genocide? Collateral damage? Even if you were to entertain that notion how the fuck could any reasonable person accept this much civilian death as collateral damage? It's just absurd.
It's easy when you don't view Palestinians as human beings, but just a statistic, and a statistic you don't even take seriously because you always caveat it by saying it's coming from the "Hamas Health Ministry."
Biden did the same exact thing early on, last year. Denied the increasing civilian death toll as Hamas propaganda, till they realized, oops, it's real. Then he had to backpeddle and apologize like an imbecile.
I have no respect for this man. One of our weaker presidents, really just putty in the hands of whoever gets in his ear, so easily able to be manipulated, so soft and malleable in the face of any political adversity. Just weak, despite the memes.
Every time he pretends to be moderate he snaps back to being a full on shill for the IDF and Netanyahu.
Thank you as always to all the users who do incredible work updating this thread.
I'm still absolutely furious about this response. What is 'happening', then?

Its really hard to see so many child amputees. These kids' attitudes are just so inspirational despite their horrific circumstances.
He thought saying the word ceasefire was going to be some sort of magic spell to sweep this under the rug as an intraparty issue. I don't think I can recall a situation in my lifetime where a US president was so clearly on the wrong side of history. As another poster said, if this isn't genocide, then what is it?
Utter scum. Fuck Joe Biden. At this point he's happy to see all Palestinians murdered and refuses to step in no matter what even if it means losing an election as well. He's completely lost the plot here.
At least he's saying it so no one can say he believes otherwise. Soulless.
Fucking disgusting. What a piece of shit. God, what a complete and utter disappointment.
I'm so furious right now, I can't even. Enjoy this red stain on your presidency, all to save face for a genocidal lunatic like Netanyahu. Just totally abhorrent.
Red line for invading Rafah and continuing the genocide? Don't make me hold back a couple bombs. Nah just kidding, have at it.
Red line for issuing request of arrest warrant for prime minister invading Rafah and continuing the genocide? Absolutely, you crossed this red line that was actually absolute this time, prepare to suffer the full consequences of the US government's maximum response.

I agree that there's no equivalence between israel and hamas, but probably not in the way he intended
Israel's servile lapdog, ever ready, forever loyal.
Great. Here I am in fucking iowa with no hope at being able to do anything to try and help the situation in gaza (nobody in my state cares lmao, and this state is as red as they come since our 2022 red wave wiped out a lot of dems here) and this genocidal loser refuses to call thousands of deaths the fucking genocide it is even with students all over protesting and gen Z constantly warning him they will not back him if he doesn't use his power to try and do FUCKING ANYTHING about this genocide.
I am not in good faith voting for a man who let tens of thousands of people fucking die and did NOTHING to stop it and seems increasingly desperate to lose the election on purpose.
God I'm so mad. I lurk here often. I barely speak, because I have little to say, I dont think I'm the only one. But this pissed me off enough I can't resist anymore. Really hate having no power to do anything in my state, and i long gave up on donating money once all the aid started getting vandalized/blocked and I felt like the money i did donate near the start of the conflict might as well have been set on fire.
This whole war literally made me lose my ability to pray because prayers do fucking nothing, and each month getting worse and worse. I genuinely don't even feel like going on sometimes because of how depressed I get. I barely escaped dying from an abusive situation in my youth, so hearing so many kids perish just really stings so hard I don't think anyone in this thread would ever be able to fathom just how hard the news like that would hit a near death survivor like me. anytime I hear about something particuarly bad my drive for the entire day just evaporates and now that's almost a daily event. I am sick of fucking everything
I remember in 2021 when the flareup happened that summer, which got me aware of the conflict. I also noticed a bunch of media like some gaming sites and other smaller groups in indie circles were vocal and willing to pledge support and donate to gaza. Kinda pisses me off how now it's worse than ever yet most of those bigger sites that vocally supported the people of gaza back in 2021, are suddenly quiet about the blatant genocide going on now. If action like that could wake me up to the conflict in 2021, there's no excuse for Gamespot and the like to not be rallying together and call attention to this to do something about it on a bigger scale, to let others be aware of the horrors going on. Because quite frankly outside of this thread and reuters I haven't been able to find the best live feeds of this thing...
I mean, I guess I appreciate that he's spelled it out so clearly that he's a genocide denier.
Fuck him and every single bone in his body.
Absolutely fucking mind numbing how far Biden will support bibi in his genocide. He's been decent on certain topics (like Ukraine), but his absolute unwillingness to see what Israel is doing for what it is is just... Insane.
"None so blind as those who will not see" has never been truer.
I don't know why folks are shocked by this, I think most of us knew Biden's reaction would be among those lines. Israel could've dropped a nuke on Gaza and he would still defend it as a reasonable response to October 7th. I guess it's good that some people finally saw what kind of person Biden is.
What a deeply malicious fucking asshole.
Fuck off.
I don't think for a damn second that the former "top cop" believes in actual justice.
oh i know that, i'm just wondering if she'd be trying a different PR tactic here than biden
Well, at least we have it on record. There is no way to twist what Biden said. Everyone who tries to after this is clear what's going on.
At least he's said it out loud. We now have it on record that Joe Biden is a fucking genocide denier. There's no defending this, no matter how you interpret his words.
No one should be actioned for calling him Genocide Joe, or shamed into supporting this ghoul anymore.

WOW. Western leaders are really the worst fucking kind of trash, but this one was trying to get an award. Words are not enough to describe this, and hell won't be hot enough either. Racist pieces of shit, this really made my blood boil. Ugh.
Biden is very publicly funding a genocide. Truly disgusting.

Portland nurse returns home from a 3 week mission in Rafah. Talks about the conditions and what she saw, and says she wants to go back.
You've justified voting for him in your post, if you truly see Trump as an existential threat to democracy, no?
How can Biden officially acknowledge the Armenian genocide and less than 2 years later deny the existence of this one? Is it a numbers game? Not enough Palestinians have died yet? Do we, as a species, need to wait for decades to pass in order to look back and see things for what they were?
The mental gymnastics and effort required to try and change the meaning of "genocide" can be put to better use.
Good luck in November, piece of shit.

Have fun going in the history books as Joe "Genocide" Biden. I'm sure it will be worth it for warcriminals like Netanyahu who much prefer Trump over you.
It's more than that, the ICC charge stops short of including genocide (legally, that's a harder conviction), so Biden's also denying the lesser, albeit still severe charges. Which are also different from what Hamas is charged with, so this kneejerk reaction from him that there's some automatic equivalency there from the ICC is yellow journalism coming out of the president's mouth.
I see the "false equivalence" talking point has gone global.
Wonder what Canada is gonna do
✅ Covers up report showing Israel is not complying with international laws
✅ Admonishes student protestors, doesn't speak up when they're subjected to violence and scolds them instead
✅ Praises the police after weeks of horrific brutality by them around the country against pro palestinian students and other peaceful protestors
✅ Genocide denial
✅ Sowing distrust in the ICC, casting doubt on IHL
The lines between Biden and the worlds despots are slowly blurring. This is the type of response you'd expect out of Trump or another foreign fascist.
He is truly an irredeemable, racist piece of shit.
So Germany tolerates the call of the ICC, but openly doesn't like it.

Their statement only condemns Hamas and doesn't care about the deportation, mass killings and destructions in Gaza
By simultaneously requesting arrest warrants against the Hamas leaders on one side and the two Israeli officials on the other, the inaccurate impression of an equation has arisen. However, the court will now have to evaluate very different circumstances, which the chief prosecutor has explained in detail in his request.
The Hamas leaders are responsible for a barbaric massacre, in which on October 7 in Israel men, women and children were deliberately murdered, raped and abducted in the most brutal manner. Hamas continues to hold Israeli hostages captive under unspeakable conditions, attacks Israel with rockets and abuses the civilian population in Gaza as human shields.
The Israeli government has the right and duty to protect and defend its population against this. It is clear that humanitarian international law with all its obligations applies.
The last point strongly doesn't apply, but my country simply hates muslims and arabs more than jews.

Just blows my mind that the entire point of him as VP for Obama was supposedly his foreign-policy bona fides...
Yet now after becoming president his foreign policy legacy will range from constant gaffes, unforced errors, walking back "red lines", actively supporting genocide, and the complete destruction of the "rules-based international order."
Motherfucker should get an arrest warrant along with Blinken and Austin, but some animals are more equal than others...
Looks like Biden decided that being more pro-Israel will give him more votes than it costs.
But that said, the USA was never fan of the ICC. I believe under Bush an law was made that allow the us to invade the Hague to free US citizens that are brought to the ICC

I'm reading the text of the bill and it's interesting that the claimed main sticking point is that US nationals would be subject to jurisdiction for actions taken in signatory countries even though the US hasn't ratified the treaty. While they're right, isn't usual for international treaties to apply that way, it does align with the philosophy of foreign nationals being subject to local law.

If you'd like to turn into the Joker, listen to this smug asshole respond to the question of who has jurisdiction.
Imagine trying to get justice from Israeli or US courts on this. Yet another implicit endorsement for violence from the US State Department.
Notice how all it took was individual responsibility and material consequence to be mentioned for upheaval to start. Countries that otherwise abstained or maybe even supported a ceasefire or Palestine membership in UNGA were quick to "express concern" over this.
