President Joe Biden is now expressing support for a ceasefire between the militant group Hamas and Israel. It comes just a day after the United States voted against a UN statement calling for a ceasefire. Biden also doubled down on his “firm support for Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks.” That’s a position the administration has held since fighting began on May 10. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, “The Iranians have made clear they have genocidal intent.” He added, “They want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet, and they use proxy forces—people like the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas.”
It is odd how Muslims are seldom accused of genocide.
