CHARLESTON: US President Joe Biden was briefly interrupted on Monday during a speech when several people upset over by his staunch support for Israel in its war against Hamas called out that if he really cared about lives lost.
They chanted and shouted, calling for ceasefire in Gaza to help innocent Palestinians who are being killed under Israel’s bombardment.
The chants of “ceasefire now” were drowned out by audience members chanting “four more years.”
Biden responded by saying he was working with the Israeli government to reduce its operations in Gaza.
Biden was speaking at the Mother Emanuel AME Church, where in 2015 nine black parishioners were shot to death by the white stranger they had invited to join their Bible study.
