Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden on Thursday urged Americans to unify behind Israel and Ukraine and give tens of billions of dollars to the countries, using a prime-time address to argue that the US must remain a beacon to the world and a menace to all adversaries of democracy.
He also urged people in the United States and around the world to reject hate in all of its forms.
U.S. President stated, “American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us, America, safe. American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with. You put all that risk if we walk away from Ukraine, and turn our backs on Israel. Just not worth it”.
He went on to say, “When terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising. So we don’t stop Putin’s appetite for power and control of Ukraine. He won’t limit himself just to Ukraine”.
“Hamas and Putin represent different threats but they share this in common, they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy”, the US President continued.
Mr. Biden further stated, “We must, without equivocation, denounce anti-Semitism. We must also without equivocation, denounce Islamophobia. To all of you hurting, those of you hurting, I want you to know: I see you. You belong. And I want to say this to you: You’re all America. You’re all America”.
“When I was in Israel yesterday, I said that when America experienced the hell of 9/11, we felt enraged as well. While we sought and got justice, we made mistakes”, he noted.
“So I caution the Government of Israel not to be blinded by rage. And here in America, let’s not forget who we are. We reject all forms, all forms of hate, whether against Muslims, Jews, or anyone”, Biden urged.
“We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace and have an opportunity”, Biden added.
