After three years of slaughter in Gaza, some leading officials of the Biden administration are trying to justify their record. Figures like Antony Blinken and Brett McGurk have been on media tours recently giving their version of the story. Meanwhile, Akbar Shahid Ahmed has been working to provide a serious account of what really happened.

Akbar’s book Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisors, and Israel’s War in Gaza cuts through the spin and presents a damning picture of Joe Biden and his team. Akbar is the diplomatic correspondent for the Washington Sun. He previously covered foreign policy issues for the Huffington Post.

This is an edited transcript from Jacobin’s Long Reads podcast.

Why is there a ‘Joe Biden team’ anymore? What are they doing? Why is this important? Can we please kick out the fascists?

    Weak. There's literally video to contradict their claims. Fuck our anti-reality.

    The electorate may not be brilliant as a collective, but people tend to be smarter than political groups think, people will see through this immediately and it won’t matter one bit. Too little, too late.
