Public Comment

An investigation by The Los Angeles Times exposed the massive lies - Palestinians raping women and Palestinians killing themselves in their hospital, intended to inflame passions to deflect the massive bombings in Gaza, war crimes perpetrated against a civilian population. As the saying goes, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." 

Israel committed a terrible airstrike on the Baptist Hospital, run by the Anglican Church, killing no fewer than 500 Palestinians, mainly children and women, and injuring more than 300 others. Why? For what? It was all about the Israeli ultimatum that had already, according to WHO, bombed no fewer than 27 hospitals, including Shifa Hospital, to evict and evacuate, allowing Israel to conduct its ethnic cleansing of significant parts of Gaza at the moment, with a plan to ethnically cleanse all of the Gaza Strip. 

The United States should support an immediate ceasefire. The meeting that should have taken place with the Jordanian king, the Egyptian president, and the Palestinian president did not occur because all three realized that Mr. Biden does not want to support an immediate ceasefire. They concluded that he supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt, something Egypt, Jordan, and all Arab countries have refused. 

It is shameful that President Biden echoed the talking points of the ultra-far-right apartheid Israeli government, repeating over and over that "our support is iron-clad." Time and again, he was caught glancing at the Israeli teleprompter to ensure he did not deviate from Israel's talking points - all to enhance his re-election prospects. 

Mr. Biden, I recently received an email from your office claiming that "human rights" are "front and center of all your policies." Nothing could be further from the truth. You have dragged our great nation into the "mother of all genocides," a massive ethnic cleansing of an entire population. You have brought great shame to our nation. If you are unwilling to demand an immediate ceasefire, I respectfully suggest you resign.
