Pro-Palestinian protesters try to stop Biden landing in Dallas
Dallas (Quds News Network) - Demonstrators protesting against the Biden administration's support for Israel in its ongoing genocide campaign on Gaza tried to block a major entrance of Dallas Love Field Airport yesterday as the U.S. President was scheduled to arrive. Biden was scheduled to arrive on Monday to Dallas for events to honor the life of former Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, who died on Dec. 31 at the age of 89. Multiple organizations, including the Palestinian Youth Movement, planned demonstrations that included blocking an entrance to Love Field shortly before Biden’s arrival. The Palestinian Youth Movement announced in a news release Monday evening that more than a dozen people were arrested during demonstrations. https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1744537135049281818?t=jd3VJ1EtOoMaenxL7uJ2mA&s=19 Nashwa Abdelwahed, a spokeswoman of the organization, said the group is proud of the people who put “their body on the line to stand up for the Palestinian people.” “Biden has essentially been aiding and abetting Israel’s war crimes,” Abdelwahed said. “We’re not going to let any of these politicians rest, including Biden, while Palestinians have no justice.” The president has expressed support for Israel’s genocide campaign on Gaza following the Oct. 7 surprise anti-Israel attack by Hamas. Protesters around the country have called for a ceasefire. Following the arrests, some demonstrators stayed at the airport while others gathered at Lew Sterrett Justice Center to show support for those arrested, Abdelwahed said.
