Irish Citizens Revoke Symbolic Support for Joe Biden's 2024 Presidential Campaign

President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, D.C. 20500

United States of America

Dear President Biden,

Just this year on your visit to Ireland you spoke in the Dáil about your Irish ancestry and it is widely known that you wear your Irishness as a badge of honour and with a deep pride.

However, no son of Ireland, in good conscience and aware of their own history of subjugation and colonisation would support the collective punishment of the Palestinian people and the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding in front of our eyes.

In that same Dáil speech you told us that your mother would often remind you that "courage is the greatest virtue of all, for without courage, you can’t love with abandon."

Show your courage now and reverse the US veto United Nations resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire under article 99 of the UN Charter.

If you do not do so, President Biden, we the citizens of Ireland revoke our symbolic support of you, as an Irish American, running for re-election as President of the United States of America in 2024.

Not in our name, explicitly or tacitly. Not Hewitt, not Hanafee, not Finnegan, not in the name of any of your Irish ancestors and relatives.

Sincerely,

The Irish people
