Diving Deeper:

Despite the shared disapproval of President Biden, the two sides soon returned to their respective messages. Palestinian protesters continued with other anti-Biden chants, including, "Hey Israel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today? Hey Biden what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?"

President Biden has faced criticism from both sides of the conflict. Supporters of Palestine have accused him of aiding Israel's military offensive in Gaza, which has resulted in at least 35,000 deaths. Meanwhile, those in support of Israel have accused Biden of not providing sufficient support to Israel's offensive. This shared disapproval was evident in the unified chant against the president, highlighting the complex and divisive nature of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
