U.S. President Joe Biden wrapped up his term with a bold claim: America is 'stronger' and adversaries are 'weaker.' But outside the State Department, protesters threw red liquid symbolizing blood, chanting 'Genocide Joe'—a stark contrast to his self-praised legacy. Let's break it down 🕵️♂️.
Middle East: Rhetoric vs. Reality
Despite promises of de-escalation, Biden's administration faces fire for fueling regional tensions. While the UN pushed for Gaza ceasefires, the U.S. vetoed resolutions and fast-tracked over $1 billion in arms to Israel. Former State Dept. official Josh Paul called it 'ramming through' military support as Gaza's death toll surpassed 46,000. ICJ accusations of genocide? Oof 😬.
Biden brushed past the backlash, praising Israel for 'weakening Iran'—a move critics say prioritizes hegemony over humanitarian crises. For Gaza's residents, the legacy hits different.
