President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a rare prime-time address Thursday explaining why he believes it’s crucial for Israel and Ukraine to win the respective wars they’re fighting, as he looks to build support for a hefty aid package aimed at strengthening both countries.
WASHINGTON — “The terrorist group Hamas unleashed pure unadulterated evil in the world. But sadly, the Jewish people know perhaps better than anyone that there is no limit to the depravity of people when they want to inflict pain on others,” Biden said. “Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people,” he added.
On Capitol Hill, about 300 protesters were arrested after massing inside a House office building Wednesday in a demonstration calling for an end to hostilities. Rabbis were among those who joined in the protest. Some of the demonstrators wore T-shirts reading: “Jews say ceasefire now.” Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democratic congresswoman from Michigan, wrote on X this week that it is Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s “job to protect Palestinian Americans.” “They are failing,” she wrote.
