Washington, April 10 (RHC)-- U.S. President Joe Biden has surprisingly leveled some of his harshest criticism of Israel yet as the death toll in Gaza nears 33,500. Given Washington's policy of supporting the genocidal Israeli war machine, his comments have many scratching their heads in disbelief.
In an interview with Univision, Biden directly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen last week.
Joe Biden said: “I think what he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach. I think it’s outrageous that those four — or, three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out on a highway, where it wasn’t like it was along the shore. It wasn’t like it was a convoy moving there, etc. So, what I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks a total access to all food and medicine going into the country.”
Biden’s comments were made a week ago but only aired on Univision on Tuesday.
Observers were quick to point out that the U.S. president can say one thing and yet do something else. Despite Biden's comments, there appears to be no change in U.S. policy of full support for the Israeli apartheid state.
