On the same issue, genocide is the worst crime that a human being, state or regime can commit. It is the unspeakable crime. Joe Biden has armed Israel to the teeth, specifically to support Israel's ability to continue the massacre for which it is now in the dock. Let us be clear that Israel is in the dock for genocide. The court has said there is a plausible case that it is guilty of genocide and, under the Genocide Convention, all signatories are required to do everything in their power to stop a genocide. Would the solidarity action not be to say we are not going to give Joe Biden a bowl of shamrock on our national day to endorse the genocide and massacre he is inflicting on the people of Gaza?
