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.

    Biden stressed his belief that Israel was the victim dating back to the Oct. 7 attack

    Yes, we are not disputing that. Israel definitely was the victim at the time. But that doesn’t mean they’re allowed to kill so many innocent people that we now have lost the count

      I got cut off by a minivan one time so I guess Biden is saying I have carde blanc to run every minivan I see off the road.

      Israel has never been a victim. And occupier much like a colonist cannot be a victim. It isn’t self defense when people fight back against their occupier. Rather it is the occupier continuing to oppress. We should however bring justice to those innocent civilians who were killed.

      It’s an urban war.

      If you know of one which was carried out with no civilian deaths I’d like to know.
