“Fathi Ghaben is a Palestinian artist who was martyred after being unable to receive treatment because of the Israeli occupation. And as artists, I believe that it is our moral duty to call for an end to genocide.”

The group Jewish Voice for Peace criticized Biden’s speech, saying he “disgraced the memory of the Holocaust by using our history of persecution to justify the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians.”

@alkeddie he sounded a tad racists towards Palestinians and Arabs too.

@alkeddie No he made unhinged comments about an “ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people”. There are more than a few problems with this statement: Hamas is less than 40 yrs old, so who is he saying this ancient desire belong to? Arabs? Muslims? Palestinians? He’s basically saying the problem is not stemming from Hamas, but something innate in the native population. Racist fool

Yeah that’s really bad. I did see something about that and thought wtf blood libel bs is he spreading now? Really difficult to comprehend how he sleeps at night.

@alkeddie Wait, what?

I’d have thought it was the opposite. He used the Israeli military’s genocide of civilians to REMIND people of the horrors of the holocaust.

The wholesale murder of civilian women and children can never be excused by past history, no matter how atrocious.

Apparently, JVP would disagree and suppose myself, by this point, actions speak louder than words 🍦

@alkeddie I think Biden should have also used his platform & spoke out for the injustice & liberation for the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people are human beings & they should be treated as such & they have a right to live just like everyone else in the world.
