“These US war criminals are sponsoring a colonial genocide in Gaza and a war of aggression on Lebanon.”
Outrage erupted on social media following US support for Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, fueled further by President Joe Biden’s statement calling the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “a measure of justice.”
Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death in an Israeli airstrike, drawing criticism of US complicity in supporting Israel’s aggression through arms shipments. Assal Rad, a US-based historian, condemned the US government for allowing Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon, while other social media users highlighted Russia’s condemnation of Biden’s remarks.
Journalists and politicians alike criticized Biden and Harris for their role in aiding what they described as mass murder and genocide in the region, pointing to US funding of Israeli actions. The widespread condemnation on social media reflects a global sentiment against US and Israeli actions in the Middle East.
