Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted US President Joe Biden’s speech several times during a campaign rally in Virginia state, chanting “Genocide Joe” amid Washington’s continued support for Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The demonstrators, carrying Palestinian flags, interrupted Biden’s speech at least 14 times during a campaign rally at George Mason University in Manassas, Virginia, on Tuesday, as they carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans against the Israeli regime’s offensive.
One of the protesters shouted “Shame on you!” while another man yelled, “Genocide Joe: how many kids have you killed today?”
Seconds later, another demonstrator shouted, “Israel kills two mothers every hour.”
Biden reacted to the outburst, saying “This is going to go on for a while; they got this planned.”
The Democratic president also accused one of the protesters of being a “MAGA Republican” after he was interrupted for the seventh time. MAGA is the acronym for the “Make America Great Again” political slogan of former US President Donald Trump.
The Israeli regime started its relentless bombardment of Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying regime.
Since the start of the aggression, the occupation forces have killed more than 25,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The US, Israel’s biggest and oldest ally, has backed Tel Aviv’s ferocious attacks on the Palestinian territory as an instance of “self-defense,” and has provided the regime with thousands of arms consignments since the onset of the war.
Washington has also been casting its veto against the United Nations Security Council’s resolutions that would call on the occupying regime to cease its aggression.
