In short:

Joe Biden has formally apologised for the US's role in running abusive Native American boarding schools for more than a century.

Mr Biden was heckled at the event in Arizona over his support for Israel's war in Gaza.

What's next?

Arizona is one of the seven battleground states in US election to be held on November 5, local time.

Mr Biden faced a brief interruption when a pro-Palestinian protester shouted: "How can you apologise for a genocide while committing a genocide in Palestine?"

Why the fuck does everyone suddenly want to bitch about the democrats supporting israel this close to an election. Its not like trump is any different.

This has been happening for over a year, it's not sudden just now that there's an election.

Its not like trump is any different.

That's irrelevant. Just like Liberal and Labor here are both systematically supportive of the Zionist regime, just because one might prefer a party over the other doesn't make them less worthy of criticism. No-one's going to say 'omg biden is complicit in genocide, im going to vote for trump instead!', or 'labor leadership have blood on their hands, hopefully the coalition will fix it!' so I'm not sure what Trump has to do with this at all.
