All the Washington Post, a D.C. outlet, could do was a tiny blurb on the side. Imagine pro-Trump folks did something similar
Thousands circle White House to demand Biden enforce Gaza ‘red line’
Is this America or Gaza?
Thousands of demonstrators surrounded the perimeter of the White House in a sea of ‘ fabric Saturday, saying they were drawing a red line for President Biden and calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
On the same day that Gazan officials said at least 210 Palestinians were killed in a refugee camp, the demonstrators — many of whom had arrived on buses from more than two dozen cities — marched to chants of “Free Palestine!” while holding signs that said “Genocide is our red line” and “Israel bombs, your taxes pay.” While marching, they held a seemingly unending strip of red fabric around the entire perimeter.
No mention that they were killed as the IDF rescued 4 hostages, who were surrounded by human shields. Nor is there any mention of them saying “Globalize the intifada,” “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” and “From the river to the sea, …”
For Mohammad, a leader in the Palestinian Youth Movement who addressed the demonstrators before the march, it’s personal.
His aunts and uncles are in Rafah, not far from where an Israeli strike killed dozens of people at a tent camp. His parents and other family are in North Gaza. He remembers the first call he got from his family members after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that ignited the deadly war.
Isn’t it great how the U.S. is allowing Islamic extremists with links to the Muslim Brotherhood into the country? Anyhow, there’s lots of paragraphs supporting the people, and no mention of the violence and graffit
The demonstration and march remained largely peaceful. A D.C. police spokesperson said the agency had not made any arrests, while the U.S. Park Police did not respond to an inquiry on arrests.
That’s it. There are some photos showing the graffiti and the pro-Hamas folks wearing Intifada keffiyehs (but, no mention as to what they means). Nor this
Anti-Israel agitators outside the White House threw objects at a National Park Service ranger, shouting “piggy, piggy!” at him, and defaced statues on Saturday in Washington, D.C. (snip)
Protesters also started defacing the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square next to the White House with red handprints to symbolize the “blood” on Biden’s hands. (snip)
Several additional barriers were put in place around the White House ahead of this weekend’s planned demonstration, where activists are calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel amid its war with Hamas militants.
Wait, fences work?
The White House protest, organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), is the most significant of Saturday’s D.C. demonstrations.
They’re still around? Strange that they only show up when it’s to protest to protect Islamists.
When does the FBI start searching for these insurrectionists, arrest them, keep them in jail with no bail, then try them and send them to prison for a few years like the J6 folks, most of who simply wandered around the Capitol Building and did no damage?

One of the major drivers of the exceptional heat building within Earth’s atmosphere has reached levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced, officials announced on Thursday. Carbon dioxide, the gas that accounts for the majority of global warming caused by human activities, is accumulating “faster than ever,” scientists from NOAA, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California San Diego found.
