“Do you remember President Biden’s swift and strong response when pro-Israel extremists reportedly blasted the chemical weapon ‘skunk spray’ on students peacefully protesting at Columbia University earlier this year? Do you remember how the White House condemned the attack, demanded accountability, and called on the school to protect students from such hate? No? You don’t remember? Of course you don’t. … How about President Biden’s response when a Texas man hurled racist slurs at a group of Palestinian Americans after a ceasefire protest at the University of Texas in Austin, ripped a Palestinian flagpole off their car, dragged one of them out of the backseat, and stabbed him? Then again, the White House said nothing — even after our civil rights and advocacy organization directly alerted the White House about the incident.” (05/01/24)
