AT A recent rally, presidential hopeful Donald Trump accused illegal immigrants of 'poisoning' the United States and likened them to snakes. He was immediately attacked for employing the rhetoric of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who warned against German blood being poisoned by Jews in his political treatise Mein Kampf.
Trump's critics have included the Biden administration and its supporters in the US mainstream media, such as CNN. White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said that 'echoing the grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacists' represented an attack on American democracy.
All well and good. The problem is that while Joe Biden is attacking Trump for being a neo-fascist, his administration has embraced the far-right Zionist regime in Tel Aviv. And while Trump's dalliance with fascism may, as yet, be confined to his rallies, Biden continues to supply the Israeli regime with the weapons to carry out its genocidal military campaign in Gaza.
When Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump some three years ago, there were cautiously optimistic hopes from within the pro-Palestine movement that the United States would entangle itself from Trump's embrace of the far right Israeli regime.
Instead, it's just got worse. Biden has fully embraced Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and continues to justify the daily slaughter of hundreds of Palestinian civilians. This, says the Biden administration, has been a war of 'self-defence'. The consequences of this war of so-called 'self-defence' has been the deaths of some 20,000 Palestinians, including over 7,000 children.
While Joe Biden might accuse Donald Trump of being a fascist, his administration has far surpassed Trump in its fascist dehumanisation of the Palestinian people.
