MSNBC's Joy Reid Compares Gaza to RWANDA, But Now the U.S. Is Backing Genocide

December 22nd, 2023 10:54 AM

Gabriel Hays at FoxNews.com noted MSNBC host Joy Reid went rogue on the Biden administration on Wednesday, comparing America's aid and alliance with Israel as tantamount to an African genocide like Rwanda. First, she announced that the Biden State Department failed to send over someone to spar with Reid, so she brought on Josh Paul, a former State Department official who quit over American support of Israel after October 7.

Paul launched into the current line that Gazans are starving and it's Israel's fault. "So it is, of course, a humanitarian catastrophe. It is also a foreign policy catastrophe. President Biden has hitched the global credibility of America to the moral credibility of Benjamin Netanyahu. And that's just a disaster for us around the world."

Reid then cited Rwanda, as if this was akin to America supported the Hutus killing almost 800,000 Tutsi people in 1994.

REID: I think of Darfur, I think of Rwanda, I think of previous cases in which the United States would have watched seemingly helplessly as people died by the hundreds of thousands. And so, you know – Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo. But in this case, unlike those cases, this feels like this is us doing it. The human misery is being funded by the United States taxpayers. Yet it doesn’t seem that U.S. public opinion has any impact.

Paul agreed with that bizarre comparison: "Well, that’s right. I think U.S. public opinion, it’s important to note, has shifted a lot on this issue, and I think is in a different place than the American political establishment is on this. But at the end of the day, this isn’t like Somalia, or Rwanda, or Sudan, because this is our bombs. This is our weapons that we continue to flow."

It's just the latest proof that the Left acts continuously horrified by Israel, but seemingly forgot the genocidal Hamas attacks on Jews within a few days.
