Lee Mulupi, 19, a member of the DFW Anti War Committee, waves a Palestinian flag at a rally to protest Joe Biden's response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.President Joe Biden’s departure Thursday morning from Dallas was met by the jeers of people who gathered in front of Fairmont Dallas hotel to protest his response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the Israeli military’s killing of civilians in the region.
Nidaa Lafi, a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement in Dallas, said about 100 people gathered at the hotel around 5:30 a.m. By 9:50 a.m., about the time Biden was scheduled to leave for Houston on his campaign tour through Texas, 40 demonstrators crowded the corner of North Akard Street and Munger Avenue in downtown Dallas.Roughly nine police cars and a dozen police officers could be seen creating a barrier in front of the demonstrators at the street corner.
“I’m calling it a genocide because genocide is crystal clear,” Lafi said. “Israel can drop bombs anytime into Gaza and that’s what it’s doing, killing 30,000-plus people in six months with thousands still missing under the rubble and millions on the brink of starvation.”It was the second time Biden was met by pro-Palestinian protests in Dallas this year.
“We have to make sure that we’re showing up because it affects our folks as well and we have to think about the intersectionality of it all. Without liberating Palestine, the trans community can’t be liberated as well,” Monroe said., Breaking News reporter. Hojun Choi covers breaking news.
