Biden Says Protests Haven’t Made Him Reconsider Support for Gaza Slaughter
President Biden said on Thursday that the college protests on campuses across the country have not caused him to rethink his unconditional support for the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.
Biden made the comment when answering a question from a reporter after he delivered brief remarks about the protest movement.
The president portrayed the demonstrations as “violent,” but the only significant violence occurred when police moved to clear out encampments or occupied buildings and when a pro-Israel crowd attacked an encampment at UCLA.
“So, let me be clear. Peaceful protest in America — violent protest is not protected; peaceful protest is. It’s against the law when violence occurs,” Biden said.
