Hunter Biden, the former drug and alcohol addict, who traded on his father’s name to sell his “paintings” (daubs, rather, that a fifth-grader could do) for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the tax cheat who had done so much flouting of the law that his father deemed it necessary to proleptically pardon him, has now come out as one more of those people — there are so many — fashionably ready to denounce Israel for its (nonexistent) “genocide.” More on the unenchanted Hunter can be found here: “Hunter Biden says Gaza situation ‘resembles genocide,’ accuses Netanyahu of endangering Jews,” by Idan Kweller, Jerusalem Post, September 18, 2026:
Hunter Biden, the son of former US president Joe Biden, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government on Wednesday, telling Britain’s LBC that what was happening in Gaza “resembles genocide.”
Biden made the comments in an extensive interview on the Tonight with Andrew Marr program.
How does what is happening in Gaza “resemble genocide”? Has the IDF at any point shown an intent to deliberately kill civilians — and “intent” is the essential defining element of “genocide.” Don’t we have a great deal of evidence that the IDF has gone out of its way to warn civilians away from areas about to be targeted, by dropping millions of leaflets, sending millions of text messages, and making millions of robocalls? Hasn’t the IDF also been using its “knock-on-the-roof” technique to warn inhabitants of apartment buildings that they should immediately leave them? Didn’t West Point Professor John Spencer, an expert in urban warfare, having reviewed Israel’s conduct of the war, and even embedding himself with Israeli troops, conclude that “Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history”?
Asked whether he still shared his father’s positions regarding Israel in light of the war in Gaza and developments in the West Bank, Biden said, “I am an avowed opponent of Bibi Netanyahu and the Likud government, and what they have done in Gaza, what they continue to do in the West Bank, and what they are now doing in Lebanon as well.”
What the IDF has done in Gaza is defend the people and state of Israel, and to do it with a minimum loss of civilian life, through its tremendous effort to warn civilians away from sites about to be targeted.
“What has happened and what continues to happen in Gaza, especially, resembles genocide,” he said. “I think that’s a very loaded word, but I think it’s an appropriate word to describe the intent of Benjamin Netanyahu.”…
“Genocide” is not, pace Hunter Biden, an “appropriate word” to describe what has happened in Gaza. According to Hamas, 73,500 people have died in Gaza during the war.
According to Israel, about 25,000 Hamas combatants have been killed.
That means there were 48,500 non-Hamas deaths. Now we need calculate how many of these 48,500 deaths were non-combat related.
Before the war, in Gaza an estimated 7,700 to 8,400 total baseline deaths per year resulted from all non-conflict natural causes (such as age-related illnesses, non-communicable diseases, and normal baseline rates of disease or accidents). So, it is reasonable to assume there have continued to be about 8,000 deaths per year, or 667 per month. During the 35 months of the war, from October 2023 to September 2026, 23,345 (667 x 35) people in Gaza died of non-combat related causes.
So of the 48,500 deaths of non-Hamas people in Gaza, 25,515 (48,500 minus 23,345) died as a result of the war.
How do those numbers stack up against other wars?
The UN has calculated that in all the wars fought since World War II, the civilian-to-combatant ratio was on average 9:1. In Afghanistan, the Americans brought that down to 4:1, and in Iraq, to 3:1.
In Gaza, 25,515 civilians died as a result of the war, and 25,000 Hamas combatants also died.
The civilian-to-combatant ratio in the Gaza war, then, is 25,515:25,000, or about 1:1, a figure that no other military in the world has come close to achieving.
Does Hunter Biden know any of this? A little due diligence on his part is certainly called for.
Biden later addressed the October 7 attacks, citing what he described as an “explosive report” published recently, apparently referring to a report in Israel based on a book by Shlomi Eldar and Ruti Yuval, which alleged that Netanyahu had been aware that an attack was being planned ahead of October 7 and failed to stop it.
Biden claimed that people who had examined the events of October 7 had concluded that “they knew what was coming,” and further alleged that they allowed the attack to take place so they could later carry out actions that otherwise would not have been approved….
Netanyahu flatly denies this allegation, and has appointed a special committee to investigate who was responsible for the failure to anticipate the October 7 attack.
Earlier in the interview, Biden also discussed the economic cost of the war, saying the United States was in “a war that nobody wanted,” and linked the conflict, among other factors, to rising energy prices….
Nobody wanted the war? Many Americans and Israelis wanted a campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, which they regarded as a threat not just to themselves, but to the whole world. Several of the Arab oil states, especially the UAE, wanted a war to weaken Iran, the neighborhood bully in the Gulf. And most importantly, 85% of the Iranian people wanted a war if it could result in the collapse of the regime that immiserated the country and blighted their lives.
He said he feared Trump would not want to leave the White House at the end of his term. Asked whether that could result in Trump having to be removed by force, Biden said he did not know how such a situation might unfold, but that the United States should “prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”…
Trump is egomaniacal, mercurial, and often ill-informed. He becomes fixated on what is trivial — for example, on the name to be placed on the Kennedy Center. But to be alarmed, as Hunter Biden claims to be, that Trump will somehow try to stay in office after his term officially ends, is ludicrous.
Biden also said in the interview that he did not currently intend to run for political office.
Who, except brain-addled Hunter Biden himself, ever thought he was fit for political office?
Hunter Biden has been spending some of his time in South Africa, which is where his wife is from. I have a suggestion for Hunter Biden. Don’t spend some of your time in South Africa. Spend all of your time there. No one here will miss you. No one wants you to run for office. No one needs to hear again of how you conquered your addictions. Several million other people have done the same without constantly bragging about it. No one wants to buy your paintings now that your father is out of office. No one wants your opinions on the Middle East or anything else. And the weather in Cape Town is balmy the year round.
Just like Hunter Biden.

hunter biden…..fraud, cheat, liar, immoral slug, drug-addled lamebrain, deadbeat dad……no one with any character, morals or ethics should give a care for anything he says or thinks, imo
Kosh's Shadow says
I still think the US intelligence agencies under the Biden administration told Israel that Hamas was not planning something big, and not to be concerned. Maybe the US didn’t know what was planned, or when, but was feeding misinformation to Israel, that Hamas wanted quiet.
ploome says
Facts and reason are not necessary when it comes to accusing and blaming Jews-for anything
from deicide to any variation of the blood libel, any accusation goes viral and Jews are dehumanized, demonized and inevitable violently assaulted and killed
Hunter has discovered the sure way for more attention and how to take advantage of 2000 years of the teaching of contempt
Wellington says
What an ass.
ploome says
whole
Namer says
Hunters stoned again, Just ignore the worthless piece of garbage. As a Navy Officer, he should have received Jail time for his drug addiction.
The only Genocide happening in Gaza is the high obesity rate of Gazans from overeating and its self inflicted.
jimjames says
He is a waste and at least should be totally ignored.
Kosh's Shadow says
What Israel is doing in Gaza resembles genocide less than flour resembles cocaine.
People get killed in war, and both are white powders.
Hunter, here’s some fine stuff. King Arthur
John Smith says
The Bidens are a family of crooks, drug-addicts,and idiots,and there is plenty of evidence to support this. If the presidency was still in Joe Biden’s hands, Iran would be armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons by now. Thankfully it isn’t.
Wellington says
Strongly seconded.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Just the endorsement the Palis needed – backing from this crackhead
Hunter should embrace islam (any sect) and move to Yemen. They don’t do crack, but he could live w/ Khat, assuming that the Houthis have it to spare
Waz says
scum, and what a COWARD Ed Sheeran is, he sacked a member of his band for being anti Semitic and pro Palestain, now he is apologizing and bowing to islam as the Worlds musos etc condemn him for being pro Israe
So sick of this Worlds ppl at the moment, where has decency and morals gone?
tgusa says
I am tired of seeing this hooker loving, perpetual crackhead, deadbeat dad, in the news. Is this the best democrats have to offer? He is a US Senators son.
tgusa says
When the democrats get involved they end up creating a hell hole out of a formerly prosperous country. South Africa is an example. They wont stop until total ruination is achieved.
tgusa says
America is too big to create a hell hole throughout the entire country so democrats focus on the big cities. They have done a good job in that.
tgusa says
Hunter is a reflection of white American males that make up a small part of the democrat party’s big rancid tent. He is a a white pos but he is their white pos. Bottom of the barrel is where democrats find their white supporters.
