The term 'Genocide Joe' emerged as a protest nickname and meme used by activists and critics of the Biden administration's handling of the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas war. The moniker gained significant traction across social media platforms like TikTok, X, and Instagram, often appearing in videos of protestors interrupting political rallies or as a caption for photos of the President. It represents a specific critique of U.S. foreign policy and has become a polarizing symbol in political discourse. In meme culture, it is used both by those expressing genuine dissent and by those documenting the viral nature of political slogans during high-stakes election cycles.
