Biden criticised for ignoring Palestinians in statement on 100 days of war

US President Joe Biden released a statement on Sunday regarding the state of the roughly 100 Israeli hostages that continue to be held 100 days into the war on Gaza.

The statement, the only one made regarding the 100-day anniversary of the war, makes no mention of the tens of thousands of Palestinians that have been killed by Israel’s military - the majority of them women and children.

The statement was heavily criticised online, with many accusing Biden of erasing the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.

100 days of Palestinian children being killed, starved, buried under rubble, losing limbs and losing their entire family. We’ve basically watched children be tortured and traumatized for months.

What’s more dehumanizing than Biden’s refusal to even acknowledge that suffering?
