“Not wrong”: Donald Trump pauses rally speech amid “Genocide Joe” slogans
Amid escalating tensions due to the Israel-Iran conflict, “Genocide Joe” slogans targeting US President Joe Biden were raised at a public meeting by former president Donald Trump.
“Genocide Joe” is a phrase used by pro-Palestine protesters to slam Biden for unconditionally backing Israel in its offensive against Gaza.
Trump is set to take on incumbent US President Joe Biden in the US election later this year.
Donald Trump said, “They are not wrong. They are not wrong. He has done everything wrong,” as the slogans at Schnecksville in Pennsylvania grew louder.
Trump has unequivocally sided with Israel as far as the Palestine issue is concerned.
In an interview with The Hugh Hewitt Show, Trump said, “Israel needs to finish what they started and get it over with fast. You’ve got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I’m not sure that I’m loving the way they’re doing it, because you’ve got to have victory. You have to have a victory, and it’s taking a long time.”
Responding to Iran firing over 300 drones and missiles at Israel, Trump said at the Pennsylvania rally, “God bless the people of Israel. They are under attack right now. That’s because we show great weakness.”
The attack on an Iranian embassy in Syria’s Damascus, allegedly by Israel, and Tehran’s drone strike response, have complicated the US’s situation further.
Iran has warned that its response “will be much larger” than the drone strikes if Israel retaliates. Iran’s armed forces chief General Mohammad Bagheri has told state media that it would target US bases too if Washington backs Israel’s counterstrike.
