I thought I was safe in the US even though I'm Jewish. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm less safe now as my religion is being used to justify genocide and my country (the US) is responsible for dropping illegal phosphorus bombs and mass killing in my name. Biden's statement couldn't really be more bungling and inherently anti-american and anti-semitic. What a fucking disaster he is.

Outside the chanukah party a bunch of brave Jewish Elders from JVP chained themselves to the gates of the White House to say "not in my name." It's barely been mentioned in the press.

More excellent observations Sam and thank you so much. Biden has a long pro Israeli history. In a 1986 speech when he was a senator he said that if there wasn't an Israel, the United States would have to invent it because it's the best possible 3 billion dollar America could make to protect our interests in the region. Here's a short youtube link to a recent pronouncement and his '86 remarks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HZs-v0PR44

Cherish the handful of you journalists dedicated to this genocide.. it's beyond belief a perpetual killing machine waving flags that are supposed to make folks believe there is any justification for this horror. As a small bright light in the darkness, the world seem not to buy it.. NYC has protests & vigils daily.. last Friday had to have 10,000 or more march from Courthouse Row to Wall Street.

As for Genocidin' Biden as street signs have dubbed him.. Demented Joe doesn't even get past the preamble of the Constitution before violating the foundational principles.. What happened to all people equal or entitled to life, liberty & pursuit of happiness.. betcha a footnote in NDAA-AUMF et al wiped the rest of the rights out for Americans too... here's wishing them eternity in an inferno.

Maybe if there were no Jews in the world, it might be a safer place for us all

Not a particularly helpful or anti-inflammatory comment from a former diplomat!

Perhaps Stephan supports the psycho ZioNazis & their Holocaust. Perhaps Stephan thinks the refusal of all the terribly moral countries signatory to the Genocide convention to invoke it before the UN is helpful

Ha. Stephan supports and thinks no such things. The world would be better without Israel as it is, but you're conflating Israel with Jews, which is what Biden and Netanyahu do. It's unhelpful to the cause of justice in Palestine. I would love the Genocide Convention to be invoked and I pray that it is.
