(ThyBlackMan.com) President Joe Biden and the United States have been forceful in their support for Israel in the aftermath of last weekend’s terrorist attacks by Hamas. Biden’s remarks were powerful and unequivocal. His condemnation of Hamas was clear-sighted and forthright. There was no moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas. His message was spot-on.
Biden called the Hamas attacks “pure, unadulterated evil” and stated that Hamas is “a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews.” He did not flinch from describing the atrocities that Israelis had suffered: “Parents butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children. Stomach-turning reports of…babies being killed. Entire families slain. Young people massacred while attending a musical festival to celebrate peace…Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies. Families [hiding] their fear for hours and hours, desperately trying to keep their children quiet to avoid drawing attention.”
The “bloodthirstiness” of Hamas is reminiscent of “the worst rampages of ISIS.” He warned other parties (i.e., Iran and Hezbollah) to stay out of it.
Biden displayed remarkable leadership in the moment. “[W]e must be crystal clear,” he said. “We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.”
He backed up his words with action, sending a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean and delivering munitions and military equipment to Israel, including interceptors to replenish the Iron Dome missile defense system. The U.S. Department of Defense has warned Iran and Hezbollah to back off; otherwise, the U.S. is prepared to come to Israel’s defense.
The contrast with the radical ideologues of the Black Lives Matter movement and leftist student groups on campuses throughout the United States, among others, could not be more clear.
BLM’s Chicago chapter posted a graphic of a paragliding Hamas terrorist with the words “I Stand with Palestine” emblazoned under the image. The group also shared an infographic in which supporters of Hamas “educate” those who say Hamas’s hostage-taking was a bad thing: “The few Israeli ‘hostages’ are in fact Israeli soldiers and Israeli army generals who are responsible for keeping Palestinians hostage in the world’s largest open air prison, Gaza. The 2.4 million Palestinians held hostage are all civilians.”
The pro-Hamas character in the graphic, who represents BLM’s position, continues, “There is a lot of disinformation being spread about what Hamas are doing based in racist and Islamophobic tropes of Muslims and Arabs…Such disinformation is being used to dehumanise [sic] the Palestinian civilians that Israel has declared genocide upon in Gaza.”
BLM’s Los Angeles chapter also chimed in: “When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense…May the borders, checkpoints, prisons, police, and watchlists that terrorize our communities crumble and may the world we build from their ashes honor those who have fallen in struggle.”
Student groups at American universities have also expressed support for Hamas’s atrocities. Dozens of student organizations at Harvard blamed Israel exclusively: “the apartheid regime is the only one to blame.” Students for Justice in Palestine at Swarthmore called the terrorist attacks “valiant,” adding that the group supports “the right of the Palestinian people to resist the Zionist regime by any means necessary and honors the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for liberation.”
These are but two examples of the moral rot that is being exhibited on American campuses. Meanwhile, Hamas supporters in Times Square held up swastikas.
Let’s run down what BLM, these student organizations, and these protesters support: an invasion of Israel in which Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,200 people (including babies in their cribs) on the deadliest day for the Jews since the Holocaust; abducted civilians (including a Holocaust survivor); videotaped themselves mocking kidnapped children; raped women next to the bodies of their dead friends; paraded corpses; burned people alive; and killed family pets, all while expressing glee amid desperate screams for mercy.
The American government, and the overwhelming majority of the American people, are another matter. President Biden could not have been clearer on Tuesday: “Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and self-determination. Its stated purpose is the annihilation of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people.”
President Biden is to be commended for his moral leadership and his decisive action in support of America’s ally Israel during a time of true horror for the Jewish people.

African Americans Should Not Fight and Die for a Democratic Party and Republican Party Created Autocratic Government America:
There are many holds other men can have on the minds of our leaders. Some holds are physically achieved with chains, leg irons, and handcuffs, and other holds are with theological indoctrinating ideas. The nation of Israel has a great theological hold over the ethical, and moral thoughts of many American citizens by virtue of the Christian interpretations of the King James Version of the Holy Bible. I do not want Israel to call for the spilling of the precious blood of American youth enlisted in our military branches. We should say ” no ” to fighting Israel’s wars because Israel has had more than enough time to make peace with its Muslim neighbors if it is indeed ” peace ” that they are seeking.African American men and women in the military should legally resist fighting for an America where over seventy-four million citizens voted for the political nihilist autocracy proposing western European colonial idealized existential, nihilist, white supremacy, white privilege Donald John Trump whose political ideologies still pollute the minds of republicans today. Seventy-four million voters under the auspices of seeking existential freedoms, chiefly freedom from governmental regulations, wanted to trash the U.S. Constitution in favor of the republican party. Trump’s proposed autocracy which sought to enhance and magnify white privilege, and white supremacy globally. “There isn’t a dime worth of difference “between the political philosophies of Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Donald John Trump. All three leaders advocate nihilistic, autocracies that lean towards dictatorships. As a member of NATO, America has a multiracial, eclectic developing democratic identity of its own separate and apart from those of eastern and western Europe. We must study, learn, and uphold the positive cohesive attributes associated with being a true American. America is not like any other country on earth thanks to our politically flexible, organizing document named the” U.S. Constitution.” Not all-American citizens vacate in Europe to commune with our relatives. The roots of a strong America are not all planted in Europe where global colonization was born. America should refine its own democracy to embrace all of its citizens. It is time for America to reify its own commitments to its own citizens when it comes to the African Americans by clearly showing that African Americans will, and shall enjoy full benefit of equal protection under the law if America wants to call for the shedding of African American blood in defense of outdated eastern and western European colonization political ideologies such as those being enforced at the point of a gun together with the destructive force of bombs in Israel and Gaza at this very moment.
Joe Biden is showing immorality on a grand scale. The stink of his actions are filling the air.
