Joseph Biden criticized young university students who were protesting against Israel

After the violent police repression against young university students who were protesting against Israel in several higher education centers in the United States, the president of that country, Joseph Biden, criticized what he described as chaos on the part of the students.
It is not at all strange that the head of the White House does not understand or sympathize with activism in defense of the right to exist of the Palestinian population, because in reality he never took to the streets to defend any cause, as his other compatriots did.
Biden was in college when the great national movement against the Vietnam War occurred and he never joined this movement, nor did he go to combat, because that task was imposed on the ethnic minorities and the workers, who were the cannon fodder, and he is neither one nor the other.
That is why it is natural that he does not understand some things, such as the right to think with his own head or defend himself against the arbitrariness imposed by the ruling class, because he was always on the other side of the barricades.
For him, protests against Israel are demonstrations of anti-Semitic hatred and he assures that those who protest do not understand the reality of Palestine.
He does not see, or does not want to see, to be more exact, that anti-Semitism is something totally different from anti-Zionism. Being Jewish means practicing a religion, such as being Catholic, Protestant or Mormon, and being a Zionist means practicing an ideology based on racism, hatred, intolerance and evil.
Not understanding the Palestinian situation is turning a blind eye to the constant theft of land, appropriating the best sources of water and the most fertile valleys until reducing the territory of that people to veritable crumbs and, despite everything, giving weapons and money to the aggressor to complete his task.
Not understanding the Palestinian situation is giving support to the thief, the murderer, the usurper and despising the victims.
The White House cries because a group of university students took over facilities at Columbia University in New York, but remains silent when Israel has taken the land of the Palestinian people by force.
By the way, it is gratifying that some governments have finally begun to take action on the matter. I am referring to the breaking of diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv ordered by the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and the interruption of commercial and economic ties by Turkey.
Little by little our eyes are opening to the genocide against Palestine, except in Washington where the worst type of blind people that can exist live, those who are infatuated with not seeing.
