White House staff had to be evacuated from the area as Pro-Palestine demonstrators attempted to breach the Capitol’s fence during their protest on Saturday.
Thousands of protesters, led by the American Muslim Task Force for Palestine, assembled across the White House to demand an end to Israeli military action in Gaza.
They also called for zero votes for Biden in the 2024 presidential elections for funding Israel’s war.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, the events organizer, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) is the leading organization providing anti-Zionist training and education to students and Muslim community organizations in the country.
“AMP seeks to delegitimize and demonize the Jewish state. Its materials are prominently featured at its events and conferences, in its publications, and through materials available on its website.”
The protest marks the 100th day since Israel retaliated against Hamas’ provocation killing thousands of Israeli civilians and foreigners, while hundreds remained captive by the terrorist group.
Demonstrators shout slogans such as “f–k Joe Biden,” “No votes for Genocide Joe,” “Let Gaza Live,” and their rallying call, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” They also trashed the Capitol with calls like “Free Gaza.”
They condemn Joe Biden for backing the Israel war. Ironically, they never demanded Hamas to be accountable for the thousands they murdered on their October 7 attack.
The crowd shook the barrier until they dislodged a section of the fence while the Secret Service and police pushed back to defend the White House against rioters.
One rioter said, “Break it down! You support the murder of children!”
According to the US Secret Service, “During the demonstration near the White House complex on January 13, a portion of the anti-scale fencing that was erected for the event sustained temporary damage.”
“The issues were promptly repaired on-site by U.S. Secret Service support teams. As a precaution, some members of the media and staff in proximity to Pennsylvania Avenue were temporarily relocated while the issue was being addressed.”
Some hurled water bottles and sticks, while others climbed the fence, as reported by the New York Post.
They also threw bloodied dolls across the White House fence.
In contrast with the January 6 protest, where thousands were arrested and accused of insurrection, there were no arrests during this violent demonstration.
News also revealed that Biden has not spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since December 23 as tensions between Israel and Palestine continue to escalate.
Hamas is Not a friend of America, Israel is.
