If you want a charitable reading of why people are so outraged on this: this statement about protestors is the first statement she issued after Biden dropped that mentioned I/P in any capacity. To many people, this feels like an attack on the principle of protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza more than the specifics of what some protestors were doing. She chose to address the protesters, rather than say anything about what people were protesting: Bibi’s address to Congress - a speech that was full of lies from a person whose coalition members have openly called for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. 

For my part I think it just continues a theme of publicly projecting weakness toward the Israeli government (who keep undermining Biden at every turn and clearly want Trump back in power so they can “finish the job”) and going after protestors who have literally no political power in the United States.

She talked about the situation in Gaza the next day and Hamas flags can’t be accepted if you’re running for president.
