Congressman seeks to impeach Trump over Gaza – but what about Biden? (www.thecanary.co)

Al Green stressed that “ethnic cleansing has always been a crime against humanity”. Then, he quoted Martin Luther King, asserting that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

He’s absolutely right. But Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden presided over 15 months of genocide in Gaza. And genocide sits alongside ethnic cleansing as one of the “four mass atrocity crimes“, with some calling it “the most serious war crime“. So the question is, where’s the movement to impeach both Trump and Biden at the same time?

Biden walked so Trump could run 😌

Fuck off pretending this is the same problem. Arming Israel was really bad - this is fundamentally worse. This is not even wagging a finger against ethnic cleaning; it is a full-throated endorsement of total depopulation and land theft by us.

There's appeasement, and then there's eager participation.

Biden isn't in office.

This literally has "what about" in the title.

Biden got us here. Liberals refuse to admit it on grounds that Trump is worse, as if it was mutually exclusive

The more liberals refuse to admit that Biden is guilty of genocide the more complicit they are and the more people are repulsed by the Democratic Party. They are setting themselves for failure by choice.
