It was President Joe Biden’s first big campaign rally of the year, a chance to spotlight the issue of protecting abortion rights. Instead, at least a dozen times during Biden’s 22-minute speech, demonstrators scattered throughout the audience rose to shout out demands for a cease-fire in Gaza.
Demonstrators disrupted Biden’s speech at Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina earlier this month as the president spoke out against racism, and they turned up at a United Auto Workers gathering this past week in Washington where Biden accepted the powerful union’s endorsement, and at a political event in Columbia, South Carolina on Saturday.
“For most people, you get very few chances in this life to confront the president of the United States,” said Niki Thomas, a 29-year-old UAW member who yelled for a cease-fire and was dragged from the room during Biden’s speech to the union. “There was no way that we weren’t going to take that opportunity to speak up for for ourselves, for our members, to get a chance to let the president know how we feel.”
During a visit to Tel Aviv, Biden warned the Israelis not to be “consumed by rage.” But Biden has also said he believes Israel has the right to defend itself and he has asked Congress for billions to help Israel in its war effort.
The Democrats seem to value the AIPAC voters so much that they are willing to commit Genocide to get their votes. If Pro-Palestinian voters can show the same amount of value in their votes the Democrats won’t be able to ignore them in the future.
They gave Biden an ultimatum for a ceasefire date and Biden refused to listen to it. If they aren’t willing to abandon Biden now, there’s no reason for anyone to listen to them in the future either. Zionist voters are willing to vote for Trump, a guy that had kept book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches in his bedside cabinet
