The aggressive mob shook a temporary security fence so violently that a section of it became dislodged as the Secret Service and police officers tried to keep protesters from storming the grounds. The rioters hurled water bottles, bloodied dolls, and sticks broken from their Palestinian flags at the officers, while others tried to scale the fence. They shouted obscenities about Biden in addition to the usual genocidal call to make “Palestine” free “from the river to the sea.” White House personnel and journalists were forced to evacuate the area as a precaution. And yet no arrests of these violent anti-Israel activists were made.
This shockingly fearless demonstration in support of Islamic terrorists, of the erasure of Israel, and of the genocide of Jews was just one of a torrent of similar protests, marches, and riots from Sydney to London, from Santiago to Istanbul, from Canada to Ramallah after the atrocities of October 7. They involved hundreds of thousands of Muslims and their leftist allies aggressively massing in defense of the “Palestinian” people whom their defenders claim are being not only oppressed but even eradicated by the “colonizers” of Israel.
The protesters in America included such prominent left-wing activist organizations as the Marxist revolutionaries of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the anti-American “women for peace” of Code Pink, who charge Israel with having “blood on its hands” but who turn a blind eye to the bloody hands of Palestinian terrorists. BLM Chicago went so far as to tweet an image honoring the Hamas paragliders who descended onto a music festival on October 7th and slaughtered hundreds of unarmed young concertgoers.
