At just 40%, the approval rating of United States President Joe Biden has reached its lowest level ever, and the record is being attributed to vast disapproval from young adults for Biden’s support of Israel. An NBC news poll found that a whopping 70% of Americans aged 18 to 34 years old disapprove of Biden’s approach to the illegal siege, indiscriminate bombings and war crimes of Tel Aviv.
Overall just 34% of voters approve of Biden’s handling of the conflict, with 56% openly disapproving of Biden’s unequivocal siding with Israel.
Analysts say that unprecedented access to the regular suffering of Palestinians via social media has overturned decades of biased support for Israel by the mainstream media and the two dominant political parties.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have become a near-daily occurrence in the United States, and it’s the largest social movement since the protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police.
Biden has even earned a new nickname among America’s youth which reveals the depth of support for Palestine: “Genocide Joe”.
Youth voters are often derided as inexperienced, but young Americans grew up with the two-decade war on Afghanistan and the so-called “War on Terror”. Many of them want American warmongering in the Middle East to end, and instead have seen Biden openly embrace another massacre of Palestinians.
