The White House has issued a stern public response to the inappropriate nickname given to Presidential candidate Joe Biden by some anti-Israel critics. In recent weeks, the former Vice President has been the target of various online attacks, leading to some calling him Joe-rael, a combination of his first name and the word Israel.
The White House considered the name to be in poor taste and issued a statement condemning the use of this degrading language. They declared that this type of language had no place in any political discourse, and that no one should use this type of language, no matter their opinion on the issues.
The White House also noted that Biden had always stood firmly with the state of Israel, both as Vice President and as a lifelong lobbyist for Middle Eastern peace and understanding. They applauded the decades of service Biden had provided to the state, and underlined that his commitment to a lasting peace should be respected.
This public rebuke from the White House serves as a reminder to all those engaged in any form of political discourse that words have consequences, and that it should be used responsibly. It also serves as a testament to Biden’s long-standing commitment to peace in the Middle East, and that the states he championed have not been forgotten.
