The president spoke out against anti-Semitism and violent protests in a short speech Thursday, but reaffirmed his support for the right to peacefully protest.
“We are not an authoritarian state that silences people or suppresses dissent. The voices of the American people are heard. In fact, peaceful protests are an important part of how Americans respond to critical issues. But we are not a lawless nation. We are a civil society, and order must prevail,” Biden said at the White House.
“So let me be clear… violent protests are not protected. They are peaceful protests. When violence occurs, it is against the law. Destruction of property is not peaceful protest. It is against the law. Vandalism. Trespassing. Shutting down campuses. None of this is peaceful protest. “Intimidating people. Intimidating people. Instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest. It is against the law,” he said.
Fox News Digital reported in April that a left-wing black finance group funded by Soros would block major roads and highways across the country and provide bail and legal assistance to arrested anti-Israel activists. .
The demonstrations were mainly organized by the recently formed group A15 Action, which said it was “coordinating a multi-city economic blockade on April 15th in solidarity with Palestine.”
Under the “Resources” section on the group’s website, users are directed to the “Bail and Legal Defense Fund,” hosted by ActBlue, a leading fundraising platform for Democratic campaigns and organizations across the country. .
