Rashida Tlaib accuses Biden of supporting “genocide of Palestinians.”

Palestinian-American Representative Rashida Tlaib (Democrat from Michigan) accused President Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” of Palestinians, warning of the repercussions of this in next year’s elections.


Tlaib renewed her calls for Biden to support a ceasefire in the conflict that has been ongoing for nearly a month between Israel and Hamas.


This came in a video recording she posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) late on Friday evening.


Tlaib said in the recording, which showed pictures of the dead and wounded from the bombing in Gaza, pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the United States, Biden’s declaration of support for Israel, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s thanks to the US president, that “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people.”


The Israeli occupation forces launched an air, artillery and ground attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing more than 9,400 people and wounding 23,000 citizens so far.


The besieged Gaza Strip is witnessing a scarcity of foodstuffs, and its residents resort to drinking salt water, while medical services there collapse.


Washington maintains strong military and political support for Israel while calling on Israel to take steps to avoid civilian deaths and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, to no avail.


Tlaib said, "The American people will not forget. Biden, support the ceasefire now or do not depend on us in 2024... Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this matter. We will remember that in 2024."
