"Genocide Joe": Biden's legacy on Gaza

The scheduled Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, which was purportedly pushed to the finish line by the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, begins on January 19, the day Biden leaves office.
Given that the US has been giving $17.9 billion in military aid since October 7, 2023, this has led to more serious criticism of Biden's involvement in Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza.
His steadfast support for Israel earned him the notorious moniker "Genocide Joe" from pro-Palestinian individuals and social media users.
"Everything that’s happening now with the ceasefire negotiations is only further revealing how Biden could’ve stopped this genocide from day 1 by exerting proper pressure and refusing to send bombs and billions of dollars unconditionally," Palestinian-American imam Dr Omar Suleiman wrote on X. "Your legacy is genocide."
In an interview covering the last four years, Biden spoke about his first conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the attack on Israel, saying that he told Netanyahu "[he] can't be carpet bombing these communities", to which Netyanhu pointed his finger back at the United States for carpet bombing areas during World War II.
Many responded to the interview online, saying that they saw this as an admission of Biden knowing he was funding what international courts are calling war crimes.
A common sentiment that has been echoed online is that Biden may have a legacy that is just as stained as that of George W Bush – whose war on Iraq caused a reported death toll of one million Iraqis.
"The Biden administration's foreign policy legacy will likely stand as one of the worst in decades, in competition with George W Bush for making the world a more dangerous place for both American interests," one account posted on X.
A post on X that has been repeatedly circulated throughout the last fifteen months is Palestinian academic Refaat Alareer's last post before an Israeli strike killed him.
"I hope the ghost of every Palestinian you killed - with personal glee - haunts you for the rest of your life and follows you into your grave," journalist Sana Saeed posted on X.
"Blinken and Biden, the Butchers of Palestine - there is no other legacy for you and your entire administration."
