Shulamit Ron, Demonstrator: “We hope the world hears us: the people of Israel are not the government of Israel. We don’t agree with the policy; we don’t agree with the way they behave; and we want to have a different future.”

Roi Tzohar, Demonstrator: “The Israeli people are hostages to their right-wing government. The people of Gaza are hostages to Hamas. And, basically, there has to be a way to overcome that and to stop the fighting and the killing. This [demonstration?] is to give everybody hope.”

      You’re misrepresenting both of those:

      The Biden administration paused a shipment of US-made ammunition to Israel, according to a source familiar with the matter, who did not disclose why the decision was made. The hold is not connected to a potential Israeli operation in Rafah and doesn’t affect other shipments moving forward, the source said. -CNN

      The Biden administration has determined that three military battalions with the Israel Defense Forces committed “gross human rights violations” against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank but will remain eligible for U.S. military aid regardless because of steps Israel says it’s taking to address the problem, ABC News has learned. -ABC News

      Biden is doing great!
