'Long Live the Intifada': Insurrection at the White House

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian/pro-Hamas protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., and other cities across the U.S. and the world over the weekend, demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict and an end to U.S. and Western military aid to Israel. The demonstration in Washington was one of the largest in the U.S. since the conflict began after Hamas's attack on Israel. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, held signs, smeared red paint on the White House gate, and chanted slogans.

The New York Post reported:

Unofficial reports estimate more than 100,000 showed up to the protest, but DC Police could not confirm, telling The Post it does not estimate crowd size. 

One man was arrested for destruction of property around 5:30 p.m., according to DC cops. It is unclear what he was destroying. 

As the protesters began marching down the roadways of DC, many stopped outside the White House to yell for Biden to call for a ceasefire. Biden was at his Rehoboth Beach, Del., vacation home. 

Around 6:30 p.m., protesters were smearing red paint on the gates of the White House and chanting: “Allahu akbar,” “F–k Joe Biden,” a Post reporter observed. 

One demonstrator even scaled the security fence around the Executive Mansion to wave a Palestinian flag, X video showed.
