President Joe Biden has publicly addressed the ongoing college protests across the United States, which have erupted in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict. In his statement from the White House, Biden emphasized the distinction between peaceful and violent protests, condemning actions such as vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, and the disruption of campus activities. He stated that while dissent is crucial for democracy, it must not lead to disorder or infringe on the rights of others. Biden's remarks come after Republicans criticized his previous silence on the matter and used the campus unrest as a political tool against Democrats. Despite the protests, Biden affirmed that his administration's policies regarding the Israel-Gaza situation remain unchanged and rejected the idea of deploying the National Guard. The protests have led to more than 1,700 arrests in two weeks.
