This Is Genuinely The Most Racist Thing I've Ever Heard Biden Say 

"It's a limited operation" has big "It's not a genocide because it isn't finished yet" energy

Brandon out here handing the Presidency back over to Trump. 😔

Democrats try not to lose on purpose challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Goddamn he just wants to lose, doesn't he?

Me when im in a being racist compitition and my opponent is a ancient politican:

You have to admire Biden commitment to the peaceful transfer of power. He is so ready to peacefully transfer the power back to Trump. He is trying his best to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Someone who's 80 years old does not het to call something less than half his age "Ancient"...

The worst part is that he only gets my vote because this country ENDS if Trump wins. I hate my life.

It's like he doesn't even want to win the presidency.

Biden really making it a challenge to be re-elected for us to avoid the ramifications of Project 2025.

Jewish Jews? Did he stutter, or is he implying not all Jews are Jewish.

I'd like to point out that Palestinians are Jews, ethnically speaking. They are the native inhabitants that converted to Christianity or Islam when those religions came into being.

“Ancient desire to wipe out the Jews” sounds like the type of shit I would have written as a freshman for a history class the night before a paper is due when I’m incredibly drunk and desperately trying to grasp at straws to relate a modern day event with a historical event lol.

Why the hell aren't we using the word "ethnostate"? It just seems like we're playing by their rules and not trying to broaden our language to drive home the idea to people stuck in the loop.

im not gonna be pinching my nose and voting biden im gonna have to be in a full hazmat suit with a 24 hour purified oxygen supply.

This is doubly agonizing as a trans person because shit like this isn't just horrific for palestinians, it's also being a trans person having to watch the only hope of avoiding trump purposefully make it harder for himself to win. Like I'm literally watching the only guy able to retain my basic human rights shoot himself in the foot over and over again to maintain a hold he doesn't even have on moderates.

we're so cooked bros

Where the fuck would they evacuate to? Fuck!

Every day that passes I believe more and more that Obama really did say that you should never underestimate Biden's ability to fuck things up

Biden is grinding out that 50 state sweep for Trump

…Oh good, he’s started his fascist playthrough. *sigh* Where’s Kim Kitsuragi when you need him? 😞

Love how he's showing so much more emotion and conviction around this than he ever did about Jan 6. I don't wanna hear shit from smug libs when he hands the presidency over on a silver plate

The US has such an Israel fetish, it's almost as bad as the US's gun fetish.

you know what´s ancient? racism

that spokesman did a lot of talking but i did not hear any condemnation of hamas there therefore i must conclude he is antisemitic and enemy of israel

Israel can’t do wrong I guess

The dems want to lose so bad AND FOR WHAT

It’s like watching Biden dance around a powder keg with a flare. Yeah good move buddy.

Look at my liberal Dawgggggg I'm losing in November 😫🤯🤣

Is trump the first president to be in office, lose his incumbent election and then get reelected years later?

Tl;dr of Biden’s speech “but do you condemn Hamas?!?!”

Must be taking advice from Hillary....🤦🏿‍♂️

The guy might as well have said, “No questions,” and leave.

"We protect free speech" (except against Israel, where we will expand the definition of antisemetism and ban TikTok.) "We aren't a lawless country" (which is why I don't want arrest warrants on Netanyahu, the settlers or his government.) - Biden.

Biden out here talking like a Star Wars Republic politician character 💀 hell, might even be sounding more outlandish than that

Newt Gingrich referred to the Taliban as some ancient organization when talking about them after they retook Afghanistan. The Taliban has only been around since the 1980s... pretty much the same as Reaganites. Clear evidence that the 1980s began the end of human civilization. 😐

Israel has the right to defend itself from humanitarian assistance and babies.

It dawned on me while watching this how dystopian it is that I am watching a video of a live streamer reacting to a press release from the US government about a continuing genocide in the middle east

He is right actually.

What’s despicable is recalling the holocaust while promoting a genocide.

Between all of this and what's happening with Microsoft, Im just so done. Fire everyone. It's time for the revolution.

I never ordered the current time line! I want to speak to the management, NOW!

...Not to play devil's advocate but it could very much mean "the ancient desire that gentiles have variously had" lmao. Like not to be that guy but when I did competitive trivia, there was a reason "the Jewish people" was a shortcut answer whenever something bad happened to an ethnic group somewhere. They're not inheriting antisemitism from the Nazis, there was surely antisemitism before that, and everyone here knows that the Holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum. I have heard sexism described as the oldest bigotry, for the record.

I mean, in the Islamic Golden age and the ottoman empire Jews and Muslims coexisted in relative peace and these were significant lengths of time and spanned a wide area. Ironically , Jews were often treated much worse during these times in what were predominantly Christian nations. Even in the early days of Islam, while there were tensions and outbreaks of violence between the groups, Jews and Muslims still lived in relative peace, especially compared to the modern state of Israel and Palestine

He even gets the numbers from October 7 wrong. 1139 dead, of whom 695 were Israeli civilians. And many of them were killed by “friendly” fire.

So we have to thank Israel for the next conservative victory, cool

I legit lost all hope in America's leadership listening to this. We need change, we need politicians locked up.

What's really sad is that he's _still_ the better option! Giant Douche 2024! 💙

My heart go out to the victims of Oct 7 and their families but at this point, I can not feel any sympathy for Israel as a nation as in the 7 months since, they had done far worse that what Hamas did on that day so when Biden bring it up, I feel nothing

I still don't understand how anyone thought this loser was the best candidate against trump

Why does everybody speak about Hamas like they've always existed? They're fairly new group that only came about when it was clear that Israel would never stop their occupation, encroachments, atrocities and overall elimination campaign.

Welp, this will certainly flip MI red this election. Nice one Biden.

“Appears to be a limited operation” is going to haunt my fuckin dreams

Least Islamophobic Islamophobia

Noooooo wayyyyy did he f’ing say that! Omg Biden is so cooked

It feels gross watching that state department guy just laughing through this and I hate that the reporters have to laugh with him to keep him talking

Time to 25th amendment this geezer. Never thought I'd say this-- but bring on Mamala.

What they accuse Hamas of, they themselves are guilty of. Netanyahu called the palestinians "Amalek" look at what the Torah says the Jews should do to Amalek.

Conflict between Jews and Muslims predates the formation of Israel. Those roots are not any different from the conflict between Christians and Jews. Jews have long been a distinct minority group in whatever country/state they reside in, which leaves them open to being scapegoated by whoever the ruling party is. Hamas certainly uses/embraces antisemitism, (you can see it in how they attack non-Israeli Jews abroad) it's just not the driving force behind why they are fighting.

Name of the reporter making the Government Ghoul sweat is Matt Lee of the AP. Great reporter. Wish there were a lot more like him.

People talk about the atrocities of Oct 7th, (yes condemn Hamas), but that's just a Tuesday in Palestine, wtf....

I love when the dude that I was planning on voting for calls me anti-Semitic for protesting a genocide alongside many Jewish and Palestinian students (my school has a large population of both). First my district attorney calls us terrorists and lies about us attacking people, then my governor calls us terrorists, and now the president is against us too. What a great country to live in.

You'd think at least self preservation would kick in for Joe at some point, but no, just too much to ask from a decrepit old jackboot.

Listen to Hind's Hall. Pass it on

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

It's like he's trying to lose.

Yeah, I watched the speech live and it was genuinely shocking to hear Biden use rhetoric like that.

Jfc, I've never been so glad to be British (and we literally suck).

first election in US history that both candidates seem equally likely to lose. its just gonna come down to who lost more of their voter base

Its really unsettling how normal that guy giving the briefing sounds while talking about an imminent mass slaughter of civilians. He has the cadence of your casual boss telling you that youre gonna have to use the other parking lot tmo

Matt Lee is a giga Chad. He’s one of the last remaining mainstream journalists with a spine and a moral compass.

Wait, you weren't arrested!?!? Lol... Jkjkjk. Former hater here, not gonna say I'm a huge fan but your coverage of the genocide is very good and so important. Thanks V

I am not defending biden, but the difference between saying 'ancient desires' for the jews and 'ancient desires' for black people IS different contextually. There's still active hate crimes against black people today, that, at least in the American social zeitgeist feel a lot more modern and palpably present. When he says 'ancient desires' I more read it as him just saying it's like, old news, ancient and dumb. Almost comparing it to like, the 'ancient' idea of using leeches as medicine. Though, I will fully commit to the idea that saying 'old fashioned' or something similar to that would be a much better term to have used.

Unbelievable that Biden has gotten almost as bad as Ben Shapiro. Think about that. It's like we're back in 2005, except the Overton window is 3 football fields to the right.

I can’t believe this is the candidate I have to vote for in the first election I’m able to vote in

It’s hard to argue that people are forgetting about October 7th when there’s a significantly more pressing matter to deal with in what’s happened in Gaza since then. Many times more innocent civilians have died at the hands of the IDF since then, and their operations are still going with no end in sight. That doesn’t mean we can’t still look out for the Israeli civilians, but a ceasefire deal would stop the slaughter and return the hostages at the same time. It’s the obvious solution, and Hamas, bad as they are, aren’t the ones refusing it. I’m sure there’s plenty of antisemitism to be found within Hamas, but they did what they did as a response to years of violence inflicted upon them. And while it was clearly a huge mistake, destroying an entire culture in order to wipe out Hamas as quickly as possible is not the answer. Pushing for a less needlessly brutal solution is not antisemitic, and neither is trying to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes or calling out a genocide when you see one. That being said, I’m seriously worried that Biden is going to piss off Democratic voters to give Trump a real chance at reelection. I know it sounds like fear mongering to push people into voting for Genocide Joe whether they like it or not, but not only is Trump worse than Biden when it comes to nearly every other issue, especially when Project 2025 is taken into consideration, but Trump has shown 0 signs of being any better than Biden when it comes to Palestine, and could potentially be even worse, as hard as it is to believe. I’m so unbelievably glad that Biden is only allowed to be in office for 2 terms, because the left, as well as the US in general, is desperately needs some new leadership. Preferably someone who isn’t as old as the holocaust this time.

I hate so much that this guy is somehow still the less terrible option. We really are on the darkest timeline.

Biden stop convincing young people to not vote for him challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

The Chamberlain vibes are real. Appeasement is in again.

I thought Biden would say "Blame the Romans" but this is way worse.

0:58 Going to steel man out the most charitable reading possible here. I think it’s purely trying to point to how antisemitism itself is an ancient reoccurring trope throughout human history. Like if some Mexican group were to be newly founded around the premise of eliminating Jews I think it still would be fair to say they were falling into ancient desires to do so even though this specific group and Mexicans in general don’t have a history with it it’s pulling from a context of human history. Now the real problem here is that it completely changes the dynamic here and erases all the context for what happened to be “hamas did it for no reason other than they’re evil,” and removes the entire historical context of the oppression the Palestinian people were facing that drove members to the extremism of hamas in the first place.

It is as if Biden had heard all of Vaush's "vote for Biden, no matter what!"-talks and decided to see with how much he can get away with. Democrats should stop talking challenge, level impossible!

Didn't the region expel all Jews back in ancient times? That's why the Jews were scattered all over before Israel was established.

It's the first line of the HAMAS charter FFS.

If you were to ask me which US president said that without any context, I would have assumed Trump. Genuine WTF moment!

Wouldn't the "ancient desire" thing be referring to the hadith quote in Hamas' own charter? "The day of judgement will not come until Muslims fight the Jews..."

The Quran is pretty clearly hostile to jews (surah Al-Ma’idah for instance) in the same way that the Old Testament is hostile to homosexuality . Does that mean that all muslims are antisemitic ? No of course not , in the same way that not all christians are homophobic , because everyone has different interpretations and relationships to their religions’ doctrine . That being said , it’s pretty obvious to point out that radical chtistian’s homophobia finds its source in their religious beliefs . I don’t see why it’d be any different to point out that Hamas , which is a religiously radical organization , is antisemitic and that their antisemitism finds its source in their religious beliefs .

Whenever Miller is shown speaking, you know that we are in for some atrocious bullshit.

So I read the title and was like "By ancient evil he means anti-semitism which has been an issue for thousanda of years, and Hamas while not that old are anti-Semitic, they're just another iteration in a long line of groups wirh prejudice", and while I still agree that the threat of the campus protests are vastly overblown in the speech, that line feels to me like you've gotta be at least a little uncharitable to think that Biden means Arab people or Muslims when he says "ancient evil" as opposed to anti-Semitism as a whole. That I'm still not sold on at all

Matt Miller reminds me of my old plant manager. always obfuscating, reframing things to avoid accountability, never communicating upwards

I'm glad it's not just us in Europe that have spineless leaders, I remember how infuriated I was by Macron's stance on China.

I think he just meant like *the* ancient desire to eliminate the Jews. Which can’t really be argued against. *someone* has been trying to eliminate the Jews for 2000 years. It’s just not always the same person. Basically, it’s the desire itself that is ancient. Not necessarily Hamas or Arab desire.

Every time Biden opens his mouth I find it harder and harder to hold onto the rational part of my brain that knows Trump would still be worse.

When 20 seconds in you're already overlooking the fact that many people believe in the bible to take that obvious reference as some comment about Hitler or whatever, analysis is just gonna go right over your own head

Vaush, you offered up a list of ethnicities that you admitted in the video didn't make sense in the context of the word ancient and then concluded on the basis of this flawed list that whatever Biden meant was racist. Might I propose that the word ancient wasn't modifying some unnamed ethnic group, but rather the history of violence, persecution and genocide against the Jewish people regardless of the ethnic group that carried it out? Biden's a practicing Catholic, probably a true believer and not a complete douchebag. As such he would likely view Hamas attacks against Jewish as a continuation of an evil pattern that starts in the Bible with the Egyptians, Babylonians and Romans, continues beyond with the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusader Conquest of Jerusalem and the uncountable pogroms and purges in Northern Europe during the middle ages, reaches a crescendo with the Holocaust and continues into the modern era.

I like you vaush but come on, he's just referencing the fact that anti Jewish hate goes as far back as the plague

It just keeps getting harder to tell people to vote for this guy. It's literally just, at this point "To stop Trump." That's all I've got.

the rate of antisematism has been rising since trump got into office long before october 6th

This is not my president.

I feel like this is a textbook example of a Freudian slip, I can think of no other explanation.
