Joe Biden has admitted that Israel has committed war crimes. That comes in a new interview for MSNBC, which should be treated for what it is: a confession, specifically a confession of complicity in genocide.

Why is Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, on the very eve of his presidency ending, publicly declaring that he had told the leader of a foreign state he has armed to the teeth for 15 months, to stop “carpet bombing” civilians at the beginning of an incessant genocidal onslaught? After all, Article 51 of the Geneva Conventions is very clear that carpet bombing civilian areas is a war crime.

He thinks this clip will lead historians to believe that actually he did remonstrate with Benjamin Netanyahu - that he did implore him to stop unleashing barbaric indiscriminate firepower against the innocent people of Gaza.

Well, this interview should be treated simply as an incriminating confession. If Joe Biden ever ended up at the International Criminal Court, this clip alone would be sufficient to find him guilty of complicity in grave war crimes.

Because it proves that Joe Biden knew exactly what the Israeli state was doing right from the start. Now Israel has been the biggest recipient of military aid of any foreign state in the post-war era, but in the year following 7th October 2023, that surged to nearly $18bn.
