Michael Moore Says Biden Is Being ‘Played Like A Sucker’ By Netanyahu In Israel-Gaza Battle

Michael Moore is just not holding again concerning his opinions of President Joe Biden and the Israel-Gaza battle.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker excoriated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday for his ongoing bombing offensive in Gaza, which has led to huge lack of life and persevering with hunger, and slammed the Biden administration for funding it.

“There’s no getting around the awful truth: The United States is the Bank that is funding and arming the slaughter of children in Gaza,” Moore wrote Wednesday on Substack. “Netanyahu is a war criminal. This makes us his accomplices. THIS MUST STOP.”

“Biden has been played like a sucker,” he continued earlier than quoting a surreptitious 2001 recording. “(As Netanyahu has said: ‘I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily.’) Bibi has taken advantage of a weakened Biden to commit his crimes.”

The footage in query was reportedly captured in secret as Netanyahu spoke in Hebrew about relations with former President Invoice Clinton’s administration. The video was leaked in 2010 and strained an already-tense alliance with then-President Barack Obama.

Moore believes Biden has been simply one other fiddle for Netanyahu to play and decried Israel’s struggle chest being crammed with billions in U.S. taxpayer cash on the behest of an administration claiming to be “working around the clock” for a cease-fire within the bloody battle.

“Our gov’t has given Israel $57 billion in cash, arms and future assistance since October,” Moore wrote Wednesday. “That’s $356 from each of us (via taxes) to fund their war on civilians…Your Daily Action #5 [is to] Make Amends for What is Done in Our Name.”

The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director urged readers to donate to the Palestine Youngsters’s Reduction Fund, a non-profit that goals to feed and defend the kids in Gaza, who’ve comprised an estimated half of Palestinian fatalities since the Oct. 7 Hamas assault.

The Gaza Health Ministry introduced final month that the demise toll has surpassed 40,000. In an open letter to Biden and Harris in July, nonetheless, American docs and nurses who volunteered within the space estimated these figures had possible already exceeded 92,000.

A research revealed in The Lancet journal on the time estimated that there have been “186,000 deaths in Gaza attributable to Israeli action since October 2023,” when the age-old battle erupted anew following the killing of 1,200 Israelis by Hamas.

Moore was additionally one of many earliest voices who urged Biden to drop out of this 12 months’s presidential race to make method for Vice President Kamala Harris. Whereas he believes the newfound nominee can win, Moore fears her overseas coverage will merely mirror Biden’s.

“She has condemned the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7th,” he wrote. “So have most Americans. But nobody signed up for this slaughter, the carpet bombings, the mass starvation of a civilian population. At least 40,000 dead! Nearly half of them babies and children.”

Moore added, “Killed by our weapons.”

A number of subscribers have since denounced him within the feedback — as Moore just lately introduced he’s “over the moon” about electing Harris because the “most progressive” candidate in U.S. historical past — for not withholding his help till she vows to finish the battle.

“Supporting the daily murder of children is not going forward,” he wrote. “It’s the same old story of men and their military-industrial complex getting rich off war. Of bullies occupying another people’s land — and claiming the Bible told them to do it!”

Moore continued, “What year is this? 1254 AD? Forward. WAY Forward. Please.”
