    “If [New York City Mayor] Eric Adams won’t send the NYPD and [New York Governor] Kathy Hochul won’t send the National Guard, Joe Biden has a duty to take charge and break up these mobs,” Cotton wrote Monday on X, formerly Twitter, describing the protests as “nascent pogroms” against Jews — invoking the term used to describe historic massacres against Jewish communities.

    Hawley was infamously photographed saluting protesters outside of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, hours before the riot that nearly usurped the Electoral College certification of Biden’s election.

    The outsized death toll, which is largely comprised of civilians and noncombatants, is the result of indiscriminate bombing of the besieged territory, and severe restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid to the region.
