US President Joe Biden strongly defended Israel on Monday, saying Israeli forces are not committing genocide in their military campaign against Hamas militants in Gaza.

“What’s happening in Gaza is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said at a Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House.

I can’t tell if he’s pandering or trying to lose the election

    This is what we get when the Boomer mind set is still in charge. Hopefully a younger person would have only supplied Israel with defense, Iron Dome, etc… and not weapons, bombs to attack. Unfortunately we are stuck with the choice of 2 Boomers.

    I still don’t get how there are one issue voters. Trump would be much worse on this many other issues to say the least. Giving Trump 4 more years to further wreck our democracy and appoint more Far-Right Supreme court justices is totally short sighted. I’ve been voting since 2000 (Edit: this kinda makes me sound like a douche, “I’ve been voting for years so listen to me!” Sorry aboot dat), and protest votes or not voting only gets Republicans elected. Just like Paul Weyrich said Paul Wayrich

      Biden’s older than a Boomer though, he’s Silent Generation. (Trump is on the older end, but indeed a Boomer.) I’m curious if you’ll ever have a Gen X president some day, but it’s not really generation that matters so much as having someone of reasonable intelligence who has empathy and integrity instead of yet another power-networking fundraising wizard.
