'COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE': State Department Staffers Turn on Biden Leaked Memo Shows; Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.13.23

According to an Axios scoop, junior staffers from within the State Department are expressing their displeasure with Joe Biden’s pro-Israel stance, a new internal dissent memo shows.

The memo is signed by 100 State Department and USAID employees who are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

“Members of the White House and (the National Security Council) displayed a clear disregard for the lives of Palestinians, a documented unwillingness to de-escalate, and, even prior to October 7, a reckless lack of strategic foresight,” the memo states, according to Axios.

From Axios:

Why it matters: The scathing five-page memo — organized by a junior diplomat who has suggested on social media that Biden’s support of Israel has made him “complicit in genocide” in Gaza — offers a rare look at the raw divisions within the Biden administration over the Israel-Hamas war.

  • Some of the memo’s language echoes that of progressive activists in the U.S., whose anger and protests over Biden’s handling of the war have rippled through the Democratic Party — and created a new challenge for the president’s 2024 campaign.
  • Without offering a specific example, the memo accuses Biden of “spreading misinformation in his Oct. 10 speech” supporting Israel, one of the signature addresses of his presidency.
  • The memo also said that “we strongly recommend that the (U.S. government) advocate for the release of hostages by both Hamas and (Israel)” — citing the “thousands” of Palestinians being held in Israel, including those “without charge.”

The memo also criticized Biden for “questioning the number of deaths” in Gaza, despite multiple examples of the Hamas Health Ministry exaggerating death counts to sway the press in favor of Palestinians.
