Biden 'Countering Islamophobia' While Incinerating Gaza Is The Most Democrat Thing Ever
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
In what is arguably the most liberal thing ever to have happened in all of human history, the Biden administration has announced its plans to develop a US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia even as it helps Israel massacre Muslims by the thousands in Gaza.
“For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents,” reads a White House statement on the announcement. “We all mourn the recent barbaric killing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian American Muslim boy, and the brutal attack on his mother in their home outside Chicago.”
This comes as the death toll from the US-backed bombing campaign in Gaza nears 10,000, including 3,760 children, in what experts and authorities around the world are describing with increasing frequency as a genocide. If these people were Jewish instead of Muslim, they would not be trapped in a giant concentration camp while the IDF hammers them with a nonstop barrage of military explosives, but because of their ethnicity they are subjected to this horror.
There’s a classic meme which makes fun of the way US foreign policy under Democrats is the same murderous foreign policy as it is under Republicans, but with a bunch of woke-sounding bumper stickers slapped on the surface to make it palatable for progressive sensibilities:
Can you think of a better illustration of the dynamic that’s highlighted by this criticism than what we’re seeing from the Biden administration today? This is after all the same administration whose Department of Defense recently said they are putting zero limits on what Israel may or may not do with the weapons it’s being given by the United States.
“We are not putting any limits on how Israel uses weapons that is provided,” Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told the press on Monday. “That is really up to the Israel Defense Force to use in how they are going to conduct their operations. But we’re not putting any constraints on that.”
As In These Times reports, this same administration is also trying to get permission to conduct arms deals with Israel without congressional supervision, in complete secrecy and without accountability to the voting public.
The US government is every bit as culpable in the massacre of thousands of Muslim children as Israel, because this entire massacre is happening with both its assistance and its express permission. But here is its government pretending to care deeply that one Muslim child was killed by an Islamophobic psycho in America.
This is everything that’s disgusting about the Democratic Party. It puts a warm, friendly face on the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth, posing as a defender of marginalized groups while dropping bombs on the most marginalized populations on this planet. It selects a high number of women and racially diverse officials for its cabinet positions to convey the illusion that it has transcended the abusive bigotries of the past, while subjecting impoverished brown-skinned foreigners to a nonstop barrage of high-tech explosive munitions in massacres that would be the envy of the worst white supremacist imperialists in history.
A much more accurate image for the United States than the one it tries to give itself with its fraudulent progressive virtue signalling would be the one it was given by protesters who interrupted Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday. Demonstrators painted their hands red to show the blood this administration has on its own hands, resulting in viral images of Blinken’s face surrounded by bloody hands circulating all over the internet.
That’s what the US empire really is. Not the liberal bastion of human rights it presents itself as, but a blood-spattered psychopathic murder machine which maintains its domination of this planet with the nonstop butchery of human beings.
The longer the massacre in Gaza goes on, the more people are catching a glimpse behind the plastic smiley-faced mask of the US empire and seeing the cold-eyed killer underneath.

I hate to have to agree with every word you have said here because of the horrible reality that it is. It tears at my heart and makes me sick to the very core because the truth really hurts but it had to be spoken and you have done stated this truth better than I ever could. We live in a very dark time indeed and this same group of Mass Murdering Sociopaths are asking for more money in plans for their upcoming war with China! I have never in my life been so disgusted with people who have absolutely no morals of any kind. The entire congress with few exceptions is in on this bought and paid for. I still made it known to my representatives that I do not support them for whatever it was worth. Thank you for stating what few others refuse to say.
Brought to you by the country spiritually exsanguinating from their profound concern about the Kurds of Iraq. It was that empathy which made it necessary to invade the oil-rich country and kill 500,000 women and children. But don’t worry, because Madeline Albright (“ there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t vote for Hillary”) said it was worth it. And they were just safe-keeping the oil for the poor Iraqis because they felt their pain from being down 500 k of their defenceless women/children. And of course they invaded Afghanistan because of their deep humanitarian angst about the lexicons of Afghan women. How can those women read propaganda if they can’t improve their literacy?! Duh! Any suggestion the invasion was about scheming to get their greedbag hands on Afghan minerals is a cursed lie. Even though they claimed to have discovered them ( nope). And they stayed 20 years after they knew BinLaden wasn’t there because the Afghans insisted they stay. Every country wants to impress on their people the sanctity of marriage and what more effective way is there, than to have weddings bombed by the invading thugs?
