The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has repeatedly sent a message of concern about the pro-Palestinian protests that are spreading on college campuses in the United States.
In his Holocaust Remembrance Day speech held in the Federal Assembly on the 7th local time, President Biden noted, “It’s only been 7 and a half months, but people are forgetting the terrible terrorism that happened in Israel. ”
He went on to say, “Anti-Semitic protests are attacking Jewish students at many universities,” and expressed concern that “many people ignore the horrors of the Holocaust and do not take the terrorist attack that happened in Israel on October 7. as a big deal.”
He emphasized, “The United States protects freedom of expression and the right to assemble, but anti-Semitism, hate speech, and violence have no place in any American university.”
President Biden also said on the 3rd that “right now, freedom of expression and assembly and the rule of law are being tested in the United States,” and “both must be protected.”
Tent sessions against the Gaza war have been taking place for several weeks on college campuses across the United States.
When protesters did not disperse despite an ultimatum, some universities asked the police to be used and dispersed forcefully. It is estimated that more than 2,500 people were arrested in this process.
