Biden administration persistently lying

Reportedly the Biden-Harris administration has sent a letter to Israel saying that if Israel doesn’t take steps within 30 days to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, it “may have implications for US policy” under laws prohibiting US military aid to countries that block US humanitarian aid.

Israel has already blocked US humanitarian aid to Gaza for months, meaning US military aid to Israel is already illegal. And this is not simply a “humanitarian crisis” that can be solved with humanitarian aid; this is genocide. 

Humanity and US law both demand a weapons embargo now, not vague statements that Israel “may” face future “implications” for continuing to commit genocide.

The Biden-Harris administration’s statements cannot be taken at face value after over a year of zero accountability for the most serious crimes against humanity.

Secretary of State Blinken already lied to Congress to cover up previous findings of Israel blocking US humanitarian aid, but he has not been held accountable.

Earlier, President Biden said that Israel invading Rafah would be a red line for US support, yet Biden continued his unconditional support for Israel after it invaded Rafah.

Now the 30-day timeline for the Biden-Harris administration’s vague warning of possible implications falls conspicuously after the November election, denying voters any opportunity to hold the administration accountable for failure to deliver.

To be honest, the Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly lied in order to give unconditional support to Israel’s genocidal war.

The administration has faced no accountability for its crimes, nor has it held Israel accountable for its crimes.

Now they are transparently trying to avoid accountability from the voters while continuing their unconditional support for genocide. 

The US citizens must demand a weapons embargo now - anything else is just empty rhetoric from habitual liars to provide political cover for genocide. 

Voters must not let them fool people into thinking the Biden-Harris administration is planning to suddenly change course after the election when their leverage as voters is gone. Voters must use the power of their vote to stop this genocide.
