In 2020, Americans went to the ballot box to vote for democracy, freedom, human rights, good morals and the overall future of the United States. The election was labeled good versus evil, democracy versus autocracy, love versus hate, and a record-breaking 154.6 million Americans voted to cast their say in it.
This November, Americans must again choose from President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. However, our less evil option is currently participating in genocide in one country, bombing three different counties—where one country saw innocent civilians killed, with the other two plunged in humanitarian crises.
Since October, the world has seen Israel bomb Palestinian hospitals, universities, schools, churches, mosques, and homes. The world has watched them kill professors, doctors, paramedics and children. We have watched them wipe out libraries and erase the civil registry and records of Gazans.
The world has also seen Israeli soldiers loot homes. The world has watched Israel destroy olive trees, agricultural land and graveyards—all cultural aspects of Palestinians leveled in Gaza. Even the dead can’t hide from Israel’s hate.
The world sees Gazans being starved, and women and girls using tent scraps in place of menstrual products.
Even United Nations officials aren’t safe, and the world loses its eyes in Gaza by the day as Israel shuts down communications coming out of Gaza and kills any journalist that dares to show the world Israel’s war crimes.
Biden and his administration have backed these war crimes and this genocide. They are sending millions of dollars to Israel, even circumventing Congress with the sale of weapons to Israel twice in December. The administration denies that there is a genocide happening and won’t even back a ceasefire.
It was once a moral talking point when Trump said he could shoot a guy in the street and not lose support for his base, or when he talked about groping women. As of Feb. 19, Biden has helped murder nearly 30,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, and injured at least another 60,000. At the same time, hundreds of thousands are starving to death.
If Biden wins in November, it will show the world that the Democratic party and this country do not have any of the morals they claim to have over the Republican Party and Trump. You can kill people by the thousands and still be President of the United States.
Palestinians in Gaza are not the only ones facing the wrath of Israel’s hate and Biden’s lack of morals. We have seen Israel kill, arrest and destroy the homes of Palestinians in the West Bank. One of those is Tawfic Hafeth Abdel Jabbar, a Palestinian-American teenager who was killed on Jan. 21.
Israel killed another Palestinian-American in May 2022, Shireen Abu Akleh, a journalist for Al-Jazeera.
Biden has not expressed any outrage or demanded accountability; instead, he has sent Israel more bullets and money. Better yet, he is now dropping bombs on Yemen, with them hitting highly populated areas like Sanaa and Hodeidah.
The administration has also deemed the Houthis as a terrorist organization, and the United Nations has warned that the humanitarian crisis in Yemen will worsen with this designation as the flow of aid to the country will slow. The same will come with this administration cutting off funding to the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees, which will further the starvation and killing of Gazans.
He’s also ordered attacks on Syria and Iraq, the latter of which led to the deaths of at least six innocent civilians.
Biden also hasn’t even pressured Israel into stopping its bombing of civilian areas of Lebanon that has killed civilians including children.
The bare minimum of moral ethics that democrats can’t seem to pressure Biden into, but really should be, is to call for a ceasefire, as well as support South Africa’s documented application at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of Israel’s genocide.
However, it must be said that the bare minimum of moral ethics should be not to support genocide, bomb innocent civilians or worsen a humanitarian crisis.
Yet Biden, Democrats and supporters are unable to do any of that. And those that try to protest just that are drowned out with chants of “four more years” from blue MAGA.
Even in the United States, we see Biden and Democrats pursue a far-right border policy that follows Trumpism to a tee—being inhumane and inspiring xenophobia.
When blue MAGA says any vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump, they should really look at their candidate in a mirror because the only difference is that one is orange, and the other is not. Ultimately, they both support inhumane and morally unethical policy decisions.
This isn’t blue MAGA being born. Blue MAGA is coming to the forefront.
