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?”

    Maybe in a 100 years a future president will say sorry for supplying Israel with the weapons to destroy Gaza. Because doing something when it matters most….

      Can someone break it down like an ELI5?

      I don’t really even get who the good guys or bad guys are. Like, Israel, Iran, Palestine, Gaza, Hamas…

      Sounds like a 5+ way war to me, I just don’t get it. And WTF does the USA have to do with any of it?

      Can’t people just live in peace?

      Edit: I asked a legit question in peace. I was hoping for an ELI5 explanation comment or so, not downvotes without answers.

      Sigh, guess I’ll never understand this bullshit.
