Earlier this month, Joe Biden issued a statement marking 100 days of Israel’s war in Gaza. His statement made zero mention of the 25,000 Palestinians killed by Israel, 60,000 injured, or 10,000 missing and likely buried under rubble — the vast majority women and children. And Biden certainly didn’t mention that most of the bombs used to level Gaza were U.S.-made, according to expert analysis of bomb fragments. What’s worse is that so little U.S. news coverage acknowledges the true scale of horror faced by Palestinian civilians. In fact, we’ve seen reporters who challenged the U.S.-backed Israeli siege of Gaza canceled, fired, or otherwise sidelined, including former MSNBC host (and my former colleague) Mehdi Hasan. That’s why The Intercept is so desperately needed right now: to ensure that the massive scale of suffering in Gaza is not erased and the Biden administration is held accountable for its role as the principal arms dealer and enabler during Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: From the very beginning of Israel’s barbaric war of annihilation in Gaza, Biden has made sure that his “great, great friend” Benjamin Netanyahu would have a virtually unlimited supply of U.S. weapons, the full support of America’s extensive intelligence and targeting capabilities, and the political backing of Washington with no “red lines.” Biden and company ensured that Israel’s lies, no matter how grand or obscene, would be embraced and promoted from the podium at the State Department and White House every single day. Over the past 100 days, the administration has watched the carnage wrought on the people of Gaza, yet officials admit that they have “taken great pains to avoid calling for a ceasefire.” However, as opposition to the war on Gaza has grown among Biden’s political base in the U.S., he has scrambled to distance himself from the indiscriminate killing of civilians he is actively facilitating. And far too many U.S. news outlets have played along, running with stories planted by the administration about how Biden is “losing patience” with Netanyahu, how Antony Blinken is concerned about the mounting pile of Palestinian corpses, how the White House seeks no wider regional war. What absolute nonsense. There is no need for media outlets to serve as conveyor belts for the administration’s disingenuous posturing. Biden’s actions are the only evidence that matters.
