The White House issued a response to critics who have given President Biden the nickname 'Genocide Joe' due to his support for Israel amid its conflict with Hamas. The National Security Council spokesman emphasized that the president is focused on supporting Israel in its fight against Hamas, a terrorist group. He condemned the use of the term 'genocide' outside of its appropriate context, stating that Hamas is the one seeking to wipe out Israel. While acknowledging civilian deaths in Gaza, he emphasized that Israel is defending itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. These comments come after anti-Israel protests at the White House and accusations from Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Biden's complicity in the deaths of Palestinian children.
