Biden’s call to order on US campus protests ‘ironic’, students say • FRANCE 24 English

over 2,300 people have now been arrested in Pro Palestinian protests across University campuses here in the United States Joe Biden broke his silence on the issue on Thursday and said that people had the right to peacefully protest but that the line was crossed when people entered and occupied buildings and destroyed property that line not going down well with the protesters we’ve been speaking to here at George Washington University I think it’s interesting that a country that is helping to facilitate an illegal military occupation of Palestinian land is now calling out protesters for also occupying land on at college campuses where they pay tuition uh I think the irony is not lost on anyone students and Community are 100% within their right to say that they don’t want their tax money to go to this they don’t want their tuition money to go to this what do you think this the impact of this protest is going to be on November’s election Joe Biden has facilitated a the genocide of 40,000 pal Ians inza you cannot get worse than a genocide there’s no comparison there’s no saying well Trump is going to be worse there has to be a line there has to be um you know if we have any type of morality to stand on genocide has to be the line there there cannot be um a lesser of two evils when it comes to genocide and I think that’s what the Democrats are trying to paint I want to ask you about um the accusations of anti-Semitism on University campuses how do you feel about um seeing that kind of rhetoric coming from the administration and from other rights groups as well uh when you are here protesting for for your cause it’s a tactic used by um a lot of these Zionist lobbies that to conflate se anti-Semitism with anti- Zionism Zionism is a political ideology that believes in um in upholding an occupation this is it’s not an anti-semitic movement it is a Liberation movement this is a movement against an occup against a Siege against an apar system um and so it’s just a tactic used by um these lobbyists to try to derail what actually is the goal well as America’s first President George Washington watches on his successor Joe Biden faces an upheld battle for re-election this November with some analysts believing this Pro Palestinian movement could be the thing that cost him the election

President Joe Biden broke his silence Thursday on pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses in recent weeks, saying “order must prevail” despite acknowledging students’ right to protest. “I think it’s interesting that a country that is helping to facilitate an illegal military occupation of Palestinian land is now calling out protesters for also occupying land on college campuses where they pay tuition,” Anyssa Dhaouadi of the Palestinian Youth Movement at George Washington University told FRANCE 24’s Fraser Jackson. “The irony is not lost on anyone,” Dhaouadi added.

  4. The Palestinians started this war. They always start it, Israel responds, and then they cry about Israel’s response. I’ve watched this for decades.

  6. Comparing lecture halls and libraries to a war zone is not irony, but false analogy. Irony is that your alternative is Frump.

  7. What is going in Gaza is not good. The Biden administration is working to get aid in and for a cease fire. However, these students need to take THEIR own future into account. Trump's Muslim banning, immigrant hating regime is not beneficial to them. The demise of democracy would affect these young people for a long long time.

  8. The Hypocrisy is DEAFENING. The arrest of protestors unbelievable, beyond comprehension and basically seals the President election fate, which is too bad. Biden is a hard core Democrat that lived up to his pledge for Labor, Seniors and other underprivileged group more than Obama did.

  9. Biden will have to face many unanswered questions about his, exceptional affection and affiliation to the Israel, being asked from US populations through his life left.

  14. I don't like religious people (Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist) as much as my sin, but these actions turned into a struggle for humanity and freedom. Any religious person (Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist) who says otherwise is a bigot. No to Religions and Global Companies. In the presence of the Almighty Creator, the ONLY RELIGION is Mind and Conscience.

  17. At least this girl has a bit of logic unlike tyt and secular talk always advocating the lesser of two evils when it comes down to voting

  20. Biden must be don't know how America is born. And all DEM and GOP are same as Biden. Go back to school and study America history first before open your mouth.
