113. Well we did want to end a genocide.

And I have to say it's tone deaf to paint opposition to genocide as people yelling slogans.
The people that opposed to US policy in Gaza were by and large willing to talk. When people in authority did talk to student protestors for example those protest mostly ended.

It would have taken very little for Biden to have defused the protests. He and the Democratic leadership didn't even try.
