Biden complicit in “slaughter of innocent people” in Gaza: UK Green Party co-leader
London (Quds News Network)- The co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Carla Denyer, has accused US President Joe Biden of complicity in the “slaughter of innocent people in Gaza,” after sparking outrage for thanking him for his “public service” after he withdrew from the presidential race.
In a Monday post on X, Denyer said, “For decades successive US Governments have supported the Israeli government’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and Biden is complicit in the slaughter of innocent people in Gaza.”
Denyer added, “Last night I was positive about President Biden’s decision to stand aside as a candidate. Some people read into this that I was offering my unmitigated support for his Presidency, including the policy of selling arms to Israel. Given my long-running work campaigning for peace, this is the last thing I wanted and certainly not my position. I am sorry for not making it clearer, and that my comments left some in doubt and concerned.”
“The next president needs to work for peace, stop arms sales to Israel, and ensure an immediate ceasefire and release of all hostages. The world needs the next US President to be a peacemaker.”
Denyer’s comments came a day after she wished Biden well and thanked him for his “public service” after he withdrew from the presidential race.
Denye, who has a long track record of criticizing Israeli policy towards Palestinians, especially since the start of Israel’s ongoing genocide war on Gaza on Ocotber 7, said in a post on X on Sunday, “I wish President Biden well and thank him for his many years of public service.”
