“We are gathered here today to tell the US government to leave Rafah alone,” protester Remo said. “We saw Biden lie to the public about the existence of a red line regarding the invasion of Rafah, which is currently sheltering more than a million civilians under siege by Israel for eight straight months. Biden made it very clear that there was a red line and that he would not allow arms shipments to continue entering Israel if they invaded Rafah. Well, Israel invaded Rafah and guess what happened? Biden has backed down on his red line. He continued to give them guns using our taxpayer dollars, and we think that's unacceptable. »
