“The American people and protesters are outrage that the civilian infrastructure of Gaza has been devastated with approximately 60% of water and sanitation facilities damaged or destroyed and electricity almost entirely shut off. Raw waste is now seeping into the streets throughout Gaza - because waist, water systems have been destroyed.

“The American people and American doctors -- I have talked to! -- who were in Gaza are shocked that the Health Care system of Gaza has been systematically destroyed with 26 hospitals knocked out of service and more than 400 healthcare workers killed.”

“I certainly do not believe nor do a strong majority of the American people believe that the
right-wing extremists Netanyahu government has the right to wage an unprecedented all out war against the Palestinian people

“What these protests [#StudentProtests] are largely about and what public opinion is showing is outrage that since October 7th, the #Netanyahu government has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians and injured more than 78,000 -- 70% of whom are women and children -- that is over 5% of the 2.2 million people living in Gaza. That, Mr President is what the vast majority of people in this country
who are protesting are talking about.”
