Pro-Palestine supporters asked the US president how can he apologize for a genocide while there is another happening in Gaza.
Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted United States President Joe Biden’s speech at the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona, calling for an end to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Biden was apologizing to Native Americans for the boarding school system when a woman protester shouted, “What about the people of Gaza?” Biden allowed her to speak and remarked that innocent people are being killed and it must stop.
US Supports Genocide
Despite US support for Israel, there have been widespread pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country demanding an end to the genocide and occupation. Lawmakers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have condemned the US for enabling the genocide in Gaza, urging for an arms embargo against Israel.
Genocide Continues
Israel continues its brutal offensive on Gaza, defying calls for a ceasefire. The ongoing genocide has resulted in thousands of Palestinian casualties and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
