President Biden delivered the commencement speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta on Sunday, marking his first appearance at a college amid the unrest and anti-Israel protests being stirred on campuses across the country.

Biden addressed the Israel-Hamas war head-on, giving a nod to pro-Palestinian sentiment among Morehouse students and faculty.

"I support peaceful nonviolent protest," he told students at the historic Black, all-male college, some of whom wore keffiyehs, or Palestinian scarves, around their shoulders on top of their black graduation gowns. "Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them."

    Christianity is NOT anti-Semitic. Christians did NOT cause the Holocaust; the Nazis oppressed Christians as badly as they oppressed everyone else. Everyone has a right to express opinions, but NO ONE has a right to engage in violence or threaten it. People who get violent need good, hard work to do. If they get into this type of work, they won't have time or energy for destructive stuff. Personally, I love to clean up, assist other people, mow the grass, etc.

    Biden needs to stay home and eat ice cream.

    You entire video says absolutely NOTHING related to the Title of your video. Please explain.
  • @missjohnson7487
    I disagree. This has gotten way out of hand. What about the attack of free speech on the Conservative Party? There is definitely a two sided approach here.
