Americans are growing frustrated with the president. But some are taking things too far.
And arrests are made after violent protests threaten Joe Biden’s safety.
On Monday night, President Joe Biden appeared on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” for an interview.
But as he arrived for the taping of the show which is located at 30 Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, he encountered several hundred protestors who were demanding that he support a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The protestors, who appeared in the main lobby of the building, mostly consisted of Jewish New Yorkers, according to Jewish Voice For Peace NYC.
50 of the demonstrators were arrested as well.

They held signs which read, “The world is watching,” and “Jews to Biden: Stop arming genocide.”
The protestors also repeated the chant, “Biden, you can’t hide; you are funding genocide.”

“The growing public consensus on the need to prevent further loss of life in Gaza as the death toll eclipses 30,000 cannot be denied. Yet President Biden has still pledged an additional $14.1 billion in military funding to Israel,” Jewish Voice for Peace NYC posted on X.

Biden of course, has offered his support to Israel after it was attacked by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
1,200 Israelis were killed in the attack and about 240 hostages were taken by Hamas.
The Democrat party has engaged in infighting with each other on the issue of whether or not Biden and America should support the Jewish nation.
The president’s reelection chances may take a hit depending on if he continues to support Israel in it’s conflict with Hamas.
Several polls show that most Democrat voters are in favor of a ceasefire.
This issue could very well sink Biden for good if he doesn’t navigate it properly within his own party.
The Democrats’ varying opinions on how to handle the Israel-Hamas conflict and the subsequent infighting that’s come from it, show just how much of a mess that party is in right now.
