Destroying property is not a peaceful protest, Biden said Thursday. It is against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest.
Biden had been facing increasing pressure in recent days from both Republicans and progressives to address the surge of campus protests across the nation in response to Israel's war with Hamas.
Republicans have seized upon the unrest as an opportunity to criticize Biden's handling of the crisis, accusing him of weakness on Israel. Meanwhile, some prominent progressives have called on Biden to show solidarity with the pro-Palestinian student demonstrators and take a more assertive stance against Israel's military operations in Gaza.
