US President Joe Biden commented on the ongoing pro-Palestinian support protests at universities, stating, ‘The right to protest exists, but there is no right to create chaos,’ and added, ‘We are not an authoritarian nation that silences people or crushes opposition.’
Distinguishing Peaceful Protest from Vandalism
Biden emphasized that causing damage to property is not a peaceful protest, saying, ‘Vandalism, unauthorized entries, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing cancellations of classes and graduations. None of these constitute a peaceful protest.’
Freedom and Rule of Law
Underlining the importance of both freedom of expression and the rule of law, Biden stated, ‘We are not an authoritarian nation that silences people or crushes opposition. The voice of the American people is heard. In fact, peaceful protests are the best tradition showing how Americans react to important issues. However, we are not a lawless country. We are a civil society, and order must prevail.’
