FIFA banned Russia for invading Ukraine.

But during Israel’s genocide against Palestinians ... FIFA is silent.

Is Ved Patel an ignorant dolt, or is he doing a kind of performance-art piece cleverly displaying the intellectual and moral vacuity of Biden’s words?

The Gaza genocide, executed w US support, is the Israeli consensus, not some Netanyahu aberration. Israel is a berserk racist state that won't be restrained by mealy mouthed muttering from the White House. Genocides don't end without forceful intervention

'Even Comcast, NBC’s corporate owner... took the rare step of conveying its concern to MSNBC’s leaders when some hosts and guests criticized Israel as the Hamas attack was unfolding on Oct. 7... An abrupt course correction to that coverage followed'

Is ADL actually promoting anti-Semitism by branding criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic? Israel's apartheid and genocide is intolerable to most of humanity (and many Jews). What will be effect of ADL branding standing for justice as anti-Semitism?
