By only stepping in to name Hamas’ actions - which are condemnable - & refusing to acknowledge the rights of Palestinians, Biden reinforces the false idea that Palestinians instigated this cycle of violence.
This is not neutral language. It takes a side - the side of occupation.
Palestinian claims have a much stronger basis than Israeli courts: an age-old history in the towns and neighborhoods they inhabit, a culture indivisible from their surroundings, a language of freedom concordant to the beauty of the land.

It is time to end the source of conflict – occupation.
The Israeli government forcing Palestinians out of their homes in #SheikhJarrah is a form of state-sanctioned violence. The @StateDept needs to call on Israel to end all evictions & home demolitions.
We interviewed average Israelis in Jerusalem a couple years ago and were horrified at their open genocidal bloodlust against Arabs. This is the mainstream view in Israeli society.
Every single israeli occupation soldier must be severely punished for flagrant war crimes upon Indigenous Palestinians. israel per se is a flagrant war crime, ethnic cleansing Palestine. @JustinTrudeau@POTUS@EmmanuelMacron@IlhanMN#GazaUnderAttack

Heart wrenching scenes from Gaza. So called civilized world and champions of human rights are shamelessly watching but doing nothing against Israeli forces.
I respect her for voicing out the important message. Where are all the influencers who claim human rights? Of all human rights issues, you choose to keep silent on Palestinian being oppressed? #SaveSheikhJarrah#PalestinianLivesMatter#SavePalestine
