President Joe Biden acknowledged the interruption during his healthcare address in Raleigh, North Carolina, where pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators raised concerns about healthcare in Gaza. Despite the disruption, Biden recognized the demonstrators’ grievances, stating, “they have a point,” and stressed the importance of healthcare for all individuals.
Amidst chants demanding attention to healthcare conditions in Gaza, two protesters were escorted out of the venue. Despite the disruption, Biden remained composed, asserting the fundamental right to healthcare for everyone. As the demonstrators accused him of complicity in genocide, Biden urged the audience to remain patient and understanding.
Recognizing the validity of the demonstrators’ concerns, Biden reiterated the necessity of improving healthcare access in Gaza. He emphasized the urgency of addressing the healthcare crisis in the region, acknowledging the need for enhanced care and support.
Since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7th, Biden has encountered several anti-war demonstrations during his public engagements. This incident adds to a series of protests aimed at drawing attention to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza.
Earlier this month, First Lady Jill Biden also faced interruptions from pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Tucson, Arizona, who criticized Israeli actions in Gaza, alleging genocide. The disruptions reflect the ongoing tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
While initially supportive of Israel’s military actions against Hamas in Gaza, Biden’s stance has shifted in recent times. He has become increasingly critical of Israel’s handling of humanitarian aid in Gaza, calling on Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to do more to alleviate the suffering of Gaza’s residents.
During his recent State of the Union address, Biden announced plans to establish a temporary pier on the Gaza coast to facilitate aid delivery. This initiative underscores the administration’s commitment to addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and providing essential support to the region.
A US official revealed that efforts are underway to expedite the establishment of the pier, with a target date set before May 1st. This initiative aims to streamline the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, demonstrating the administration’s proactive approach to addressing the ongoing crisis.

He is correct.
They have a point.
Issue is, they are directing their ire in the wrong direction.
The number one reason that healthcare is an issue in Gaza today is Hamas.
If they wouldn’t be stealing medical supplies. If they wouldn’t be commandeering hospitals to be used as commands centers. If they wouldn’t have started this war. If they would have allowed the Red Cross access to the hostages. If they wouldn’t have murdered every Palestinian Authority representative living in Gaza. If they would abide by the basic rules of war.
There are so many ways this could have been avoided, but all of them were blown away by Hamas.
Biden should take a long walk on a short pier.
