US President Biden issues 'chilling' warning to pro-Gaza student protesters
[NEWARAB] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
warned on Thursday that "order must be restored" on college campuses after a series of pro-Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
encampments were established across the country.

Biden stressed that the rule of law "must be upheld" hours after police violent mostly peacefully dispersed peaceful protests at universities in Los Angeles and New York, arresting hundreds of students.

Across the US, notably at Columbia and UCLA, students have occupied university lawns and squares in support of Gaza, demanding that authorities sever ties with Israeli colleges and divest from companies linked to Israel.

This week, police at Columbia and UCLA tore down tents and dismantled barricades that students had erected to protect themselves from attacks by counter-protesters.

"We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent, but neither are we a lawless country," Biden said in a televised speech from the White House. "We're a civil society, and order must prevail."

All week, Biden's team has contended with the rhetoric and slogans of student protesters, accusing some of antisemitism while seemingly misinterpreting their words.

"President Biden has stood against repugnant, antisemitic smears and violent mostly peaceful rhetoric his entire life," Andrew Bates, a White House assistant press secretary, said in a statement.

"He condemns the use of the term 'intifada,' as he has the other tragic and dangerous hate speech displayed in recent days."

The Arabic word 'intifada', meaning "shake-off", refers to popular and usually peaceful uprisings in the Arab world against oppression.

Biden said that while he respected free speech, he would not tolerate 'unlawful' activities by student protesters.

"Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduation - none of this is a peaceful protest. Threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not a peaceful protest," said Biden.

"Dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder or to denying the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education," Biden continued. "There’s a right to protest but not the right to cause chaos."

Observers at the camps have almost universally agreed the college protests have been peaceful, while student leaders insist pro-Israel opponents are defaming their popular movement with false accusations of violence and antisemitism.
