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?"

Brief summary?

The Germans killed Jews. Jews, having been persecuted since forever, wanted a homeland to be safe. They wanted their old homeland that was occupied by Palestinians since before electricity, the Brits didn't see a problem and helped establish Israel in the lands that the Jews claimed God gave them and the deed is in the sacred scrolls.

The Palestinians didn't appreciate that.

Both sides push back against one another, the Jews had everybody who wasn't Muslim backing them and that means all of the military support from the leading name in military tech, America. Israel treats Palestinians like freed slaves in late 1800s America, they all don't belong and are probably up to something. Good old segregation and restricting of movements.

The Palestinians form "militaries" to fight back against Jewish colonizers. They have different names at times but the big one now is Hamas. They are constantly in these build-ups and attacks, which then Israel beats the everliving shit out of Hamas. Hamas, not being a formal military, exists within the Palestinian population. This means Palestine gets wrecked when Hamas does anything because Hamas=Palestine.

Everytime Palestine gets all assertive about keeping their lands, Israel stomps them and takes more land.

Lebanon and Iran supports Palestine existing and their fight against being slaughtered. Palestinians flee to neighboring Lebanon when Israel is off bombing everything again because it is safer than dodging tanks and bombs. Hamas also flees to Lebanon because their whole thing is not wanting to die so that they can fight later.

Clearly Lebanon is also Hamas, so they catch Jewish hands throwing brass knuckles they got from 'Murica because America doesn't have any major wars going on and we just get off on violence and our Military Industrial Complex gets so fucking feral when they don't have something to hate-fuck for profit and fun for any length of time greater than a few years.

Iran sticks up for their friends, you guessed it, they catch hands too.

So why can't we have peace? People don't like it when you kill people and the only moral genocide is their genocide, it says so right here in the scrolls and it is funded by American Taxes.

Thank you for the simplified complex breakdown.

Although I'm a USA citizen, I've never been in support of any wars.
