Biden lies about seeing pix of dying kids in Gaza

Nothing else to say about what is the nutgraf takeaway from the story about he and Kamala is a Cop meeting with six Muslim-American representatives at the White House.

Another doctor who attended was taken aback when she showed Biden prints of photos of malnourished children and women in Gaza — to which Biden responded that he had seen those images before. The problem, the doctor said, was that she had printed the photos from her own iPhone.

"This speaks volumes to the dismissive nature of the administration when it comes to strong-willed action towards a permanent cease-fire or, at a bare minimum, a red line on the invasion of Rafah," Dr. Nahreen H. Ahmed told NBC News.

Wow. Just wow.

Another doctor walked out.

Dr. Thaer Ahmad, who specializes in emergency medicine, recalled getting emotional when talking about the many Palestinians he cared for, describing the scale of death in the six months since the war began.

“The decision to leave was a personal one,” he told NBC News in a phone interview, explaining he wanted to show the White House that “it was important to recognize the pain and the mourning that my community was in.”

Ahmad stressed that he wanted “to let the administration feel the way that we felt this past six months and kind of get up and walk away from them.”

What needs to happen. More about Ahmad's thought processes, voiced out loud, here:

"It was tough, you know — I wanted to communicate that message, but at the same time, I also wanted it to be clear that up until now — what the White House has done is not sufficient enough," Ahmad said.

That piece has more comment from Dr. Ahmed as well about her phone pix:

"Maybe he didn't mean it that way, but you're the president of the United States, you cannot sit there and be this dismissive of individual pictures of people suffering that are being put in front of you and then tell us all, 'Well, I've seen these before,'" she told NPR.

And about what she perceived his attitude in general as being:

Ahmed said she felt the meeting was "a way to manage the community, to say that we are trying our best, that we hear you," and did not feel like the president was empathetic to their concerns.

Genocide Joe doesn't want to get it.

Further proof?

This was supposed to be an iftar meal for Ramadan with a much larger group of Muslim leaders. No, really. Biden thought they'd all accept his invites.

Many of the invitees, distressed over President Biden’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza, said they would not attend an iftar meal with the president on Tuesday evening while so many Palestinians were under siege.

And, so, we wound up with the small meet-and-greet instead. (That NYT piece also covers it.)

Biden's response to calls for an immediate ceasefire? 

"But the hostages." 

Let's talk about that.

Israel's ongoing arrests of West Bank Palestinians, followed by indefinite detention without charges or other legal due process, IS itself hostage taking.

And Biden says nothing

Meanwhile, Karine Jean-Pierre comes off more and more as being almost as much a flunky-toady press secretary as any of Trump's.
