Biden did support the crackdowns and arrests of about 3000 pro Palestinian protesters, including a law to label the protests as antisemitic and target universities that 'tolerate' the (peaceful) protests. He backed both that law and the law that can label any pro-palestinian (and any pro- marginalized group) organization as 'supporters of terrorism' to revoke federal funding and add tax penalties, both of which fit into Project Esther, the plan Trump is currently enacting as part of Project 2025.

Biden didn't deport any protesters like how Trump is doing now, but he certainly helped Project Esther. Biden also funded and defended Israel's genocide of Gaza for over a year, in opposition to international/domestic law and public sentiment, fracturing his voter base when it was most critical to earn as many votes as possible to win against a Fascist who is continuing and ramping up the genocide. Yeah, he could have done a lot fucking more to prevent this shit, I'm not going to pretend otherwise. And yeah, I did vote Harris and told others repeatedly to do the same despite all of Biden's support for Israel.

Under pressure from donors and legislators, many universities cracked down on pro-Palestine activities on campuses. As many as 3,000 student protesters were arrested at the height of the protest movement in 2024.

That is a federal anti-discrimination law that bars discrimination based on shared ancestry, ethnic characteristics or national origin. Adding IHRA’s definition to the law would allow the federal Department of Education to restrict funding and other resources to campuses perceived as tolerating anti-Semitism.

The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that would grant the Treasury Department the power to revoke the tax-exempt status of any non-profit it deems to be a "terrorist supporting organisation", which could put many pro-Palestinian groups critical of Israel's war on Gaza in danger.
