Joe Biden leaves several legacies, good and bad. But the most tangible and lasting is this.
It's the result of his disgraceful, enduring support for #genocide: the literal wiping of a people and their built environment off the map.
Whatever else he did, this will forever be attached to his name.

Western journalists must be held to account for complicity in genocide
Palestinian journalists risked their lives to tell the world the truth about Israel's genocide - and were treated like dirt by their Western colleagues.
