"Genocide Joe" is a phrase used by pro-Palestine protesters to slam Joe Biden for unconditionally backing Israel for its offensive against Gaza
Amid the escalation in West Asia after Iran's drone strike on Israel, "Genocide Joe" slogans targeting US president Joe Biden were raised at a public meeting by former president Donald Trump, who is set to take on Biden in the US election later this year. As the slogans at Schnecksville in Pennsylvania grew louder, Trump said, "They are not wrong. They are not wrong. He has done everything wrong." 🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Donald Trump calls President Biden “GENOCIDE JOE!” pic.twitter.com/84xO69yvod
"Genocide Joe" is a phrase used by pro-Palestine protesters to slam Biden for unconditionally backing Israel for its offensive against Gaza, especially in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks by Hamas. Over 33,000 Palestinians have been killed so far.
The slogan's use at a Trump rally and his endorsement of it is curious, to say the least. The Republican leader has unequivocally sided with Israel as far as the Palestine issue is concerned. In fact, in an interview earlier this month, he said Israel needs to "finish what they started" and "get it over with fast". "You've got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I'm not sure that I'm loving the way they're doing it, because you've got to have victory. You have to have a victory, and it's taking a long time," he said in The Hugh Hewitt Show.
