Biden proves to us he's incredibly put of touch in yet another controversial interview. Biden responded to a question regarding whether he was a Zionist with

Yes...Now that you'll be able to make a lot of, because people don't know what a Zionist is. Do you know what a zionist is?

"I just ask questions, I don't answer" - Interviewer.

By the way, im the guy who did more for the Palestinian community than anybody. Im the guy who opened up all the assets, im the guy that made the sure that i got the Egyptians open the border to let the good-goods through- medicine and-and food and-. But what's happening is- and im the guy that's been able to pull together the Arab states to help agree to help Palestinians with food and shelter- Im the guy and so....

He indeed has done more then anybody. Supporting genocide is also something you can do.

I remember when Trump being a pathological liar was an actual point of contrast with some of the major candidates he was up against, rather than a shared trait.

So out of touch and he can't even see it

Thank God that Biden isn’t a lying, racist, narcissist like Trump, right? Right?

Technically true, he didn't necessarily say he has done more good than anyone. Murder is definitely something you do.

Seriously though, how do you expect kudos for providing aid to a victim that only exists because of you. It's like stabbing a guy and asking to be praised when you had him a bandage. Or maybe more accurately, supplying a mugger with a knife and then handing the victim a burger.

Who is this meant to appeal to? People who are against the genocide aren't going to be swayed by it, and it would probably turn off the pro-genocide crowd who just want more murder.

Indeed, by murdering them.
