US President Joe Biden affirmed he was a Zionist who has "done more for the Palestinian community than anybody," in an interview with Complex Networks’ 360 with Speedy, on Monday. 

The taped interview, which was filmed on Friday and aired on Monday, shows Biden extensively discussing the Israeli war on Gaza and the matter of allowing life-saving humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave. 

Biden confirmed that he was a Zionist when asked, adding that he identified as one before Hamas launched its operation on October 7.

This comes amid calls for Biden to show more sympathy with Palestinians amid the Israeli genocide of Gaza, which has killed over 38,000 Palestinians so far, many of whom were murdered by US weapons. 

Anticipating backlash or criticism, Biden justified his identification by saying that being a zionist was not mutually inclusive with being a Jew, but indicated belief of "Israel's" existence as a "safe haven for Jews because of their history of how they’ve been persecuted." 

Biden also audaciously gave himself credit for the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, saying “I’m the guy that opened up all the assets. I’m the guy that made sure that – I got the Egyptians to open the border to let goods through, medicine and food. I have been very supportive of the Palestinians, but Hamas, they’re a bunch of thugs.”

What has Joe Biden done for Palestinians? 

Since October 7, Joe Biden has pumped billions of dollars in military aid to "Israel", prolonging the war and enabling the occupation forces to commit more massacres against Palestinian civilians. 

On several occasions, the president affirmed that his administration had "no red lines" when it came to "Israel" and its "right to self-defense". 

Most recently, backed by the US and Joe Biden, "Israel" massacred forcibly displaced Palestinian civilians, using US-manufactured JDAM bombs.

Known for their precision and advanced targeting capabilities, JDAMs are kits that are attached to Mark 80 series bombs, which turn the dumb bomb into a precision munition.

Guided by laser and/or GPS, incorporating artificial intelligence and advanced sensor technologies, and are manufactured by the US and "Israel."

Israeli Army Radio reported that the Israeli Air Force dropped a total of eight JDAM-guided bombs during the massacre, resulting in 390 Palestinians being either killed or injured.
