"Pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah demonstrators staged an anti-Israel protest near the White House on Saturday, calling for 'jihad'..."

"... and voicing anger at US President Joe Biden’s management of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Thousands of protesters chanting 'From DC to Palestine, we are the red line' held a long banner scribbled with the names of Palestinians killed in the ongoing fighting.... Reports on social media appeared to show masked demonstrators chanting slogans urging Hamas’s military wing to 'kill another soldier now' and calling on Hezbollah to 'kill another Zionist now.' Protesters also held signs calling for 'Intifada'....

I'm reading "Pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah protesters cheer ‘jihad’ at anti-Israel rally in DC Demonstrators near White House protest Gaza war in terror group attire, burn US flags; in London, thousands march against Israel amid chants of ‘From the river to the sea’" (The Times of Israel).

The article embeds this X post ("Protester holds up a bloody mask depicting President Joe Biden. Another protester burns American flag behind him as statue is sprayed with "FJB" outside of the White House during Pro-palestine protest"): Here's the NYT article about the protests, "Protest Against Gaza War Draws Thousands to the White House/The demonstration included ringing the White House grounds with a red banner showing the names of the more than 36,000 Palestinians killed during the war."
Holding signs calling Mr. Biden a liar, the protesters, mostly clad in red and bearing Palestinian flags, marched around the block of parkland where the White House sits. They spilled across two six-lane boulevards, pushing out tourists, whose faces showed variations of confusion, anger or intrigue.... 
Mr. Biden was not at the White House, but in France, where he joined President Emmanuel Macron for a state dinner in Paris on Saturday night. But the dissenting voices in the American capital highlighted the challenges he faces domestically as he tries to carve out a narrow position that both supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas and calls for a quick cessation of hostilities. The pro-Palestinian activists outside the White House, who were highly critical of the Biden administration’s response to the war, encouraged a key portion of Mr. Biden’s base — young and nonwhite voters — to reconsider their support for the president ahead of the election this fall....

Well...who are they going to line up to vote for? Yahya Sinwar? It would seem so. Good luck with that.

The marriage of Marxism and Islamism continues. This cannot end well.

Hey, hey, at least LBJ was kind of managing the Vietnam War.

Shouldn’t there have been a Gay Pride parade going on somewhere nearby?

That guy trying to light that tiny US flag on fire was pathetic.

What would happen if the “Pride” marchers encountered the Hamas protesters and they both realized how similar their flags are designed?

No one is ever pure enough when it comes to leftist revolution. FJB made a deal with Hell to gain the White House. The debt is coming due now.

you know.. Like the pro hamas people did to the pictures of Israelis raped and murdered?

Mary Beth said...

Was it intentional that they staged this on a date when they knew Biden would not be in the White House? Did they have a permit to march the huge flag down Pennsylvania Avenue?

R C Belaire said...

"...encouraged a key portion of Mr. Biden’s base — young and nonwhite voters — to reconsider their support for the president ahead of the election this fall...."

1) My guess is that a majority of these protesters will still vote Biden in November.
2) Those that don't may vote for RFK Jr. or stay home, but not vote Trump.

If the protesters don't like professional government running by Democrats they're going to really dislike professional government articulation by Republicans.

Ivy League students are sucker punching old Jews, attacking park rangers and vandalizing national monuments and not one person has been punished. Meanwhile, three Washington State teenage boys are being threatened with 10 ten year prison sentences:

"Three [ ] teenagers are facing felony charges after they left scooter marks on a gay pride mural that had been painted onto the pavement. A 'no-ride zone' has been created around the mural. Eyewitnesses said four young people rode scooters over the roadway mural and left behind skid marks."

https://www.toddstarnes.com/crime/teens-face-felony-charges-for-scooter-marks-on-pride-street-mural/

I guess one of the four was so very young that even woke prosecutors balked at ten year prison sentences.

Sebastian said...

"appeared to show masked demonstrators chanting slogans urging Hamas’s military wing to 'kill another soldier now' and calling on Hezbollah to 'kill another Zionist now.'"

I assume they were immediately arrested for masking in public and supporting listed terrorist groups--correct?

"...more than 36,000 Palestinians killed..."

Maybe, maybe not, nobody knows. But a couple of things come to mind:
-Judging by their chants, the demonstrators are not motivated by concern for human life
-When you start a war, you don't know how it's going to end.

Many (or most) of the dead Gazans are the innocent civilians who cheered Hamas' murder and rape spree and spit on the hostages as they were paraded through Gaza. Enjoy your fun while you can.

natatomic said...

Thank God they didn’t leave skid marks on a pride flag somewhere!

wild chicken said...

Was doing ballot resolution Tuesday night and one of the rejects was a Dem ballot and had "Free Palestine" written in every other race.

Can't recall if they voted Biden or no pref. But I heard they'd been getting these all day.

No arrests. And they put red paint hand prints on the plinth of the Andrew Jackson statue.

mindnumbrobot said...

Shouldn't they be setting themselves of fire?

Achilles said...

If the Biden Regime somehow steals this election they will be a coalition of ~50 million voters caught between 80+ million Trump voters and some number of Soros paid violent revolutionaries.

They will preside over a late stage Weimar situation that will likely end badly for them.

At some point they are likely to decide to surrender and slink off to the shadows and let Trump clean up the mess they made.

I presume at least 75% of that crowd is the same rent-a-mob that's at all lefty protests. Still amazing that no-one has been able to figure out who's paying them.

Bob Boyd said...

Maybe they did...judging by they way they burn flags.

who-knew said...

I've seen other coverage of this and, as usual, the NYT is whitewashing it, much like their coverage of the mostly peaceful Saint George riots that burned down cities.

William said...

I read the NYT account. It's remarkably and purposefully anodyne. Here's a quotation: "But according to one protester such slogans were not a call for violence against Jewish people , but for a broader resistance against the status quo. 'We don't have anything against Jews' said Adam Kattom a founding member of Peoria for Palestine, who had traveled 12 hours from Peoria to join the demonstration."......I think if the reporter had really tried he might have found some member--possibly a more typical member of the demonstration--who did have some animus against the Jews and who would express that animus in vivid terms...I think the reporter wanted to tell us that ,gosh, they're all such nice people. Please don't lump them in with Hamas and Isis just because they support Hamas and Isis.

OK. Great. They're pissed at Biden and they don't like Pride Month. But where to they defect with their votes?

Tammy Baldwin got heckled yesterday. Deeee---lish!

Jay said...

36000 dead? Am I supposed to be horrified at that number? Boko Haram, Janjaweed,Houthi and the other 60 odd Islamic militias and hardcore Islamic states average that number enslaved or murdered every month.

RCOCEAN II said...

36,000 killed in the WAR.

The war? There is no "War". Its just Israel bombing and killing women, children, and old men. Oh, and the occassional Hamas fighter aka a young man with a AK-47 or a rocket launcher. Its incredible that the IDR - a trained army with the most advanced weapons can't fight a handful of poorly equiped arab teenagers in t-shirts and shorts.

Israel bombs a refugee camp, kills 200 civilians, and rescues 4 hostages. Then calls it a heroic "raid". If the IDF had any courage they would've gone in house to house and killed all these Hamas fighters. But they don't want to fight man to man, they'd rather blast an apartment building or a hospital.

And what would DeSantis have been able to do? We all know 2024 hinges on outpacing the fraud. It's gonna be ugly. Especially when low level liberals are willing to help implement it. Their "voters" support, and root for it.

Achilles is right about the 80 million vs 50 Million coalitions. You're living it right now because of the 2020 voter fraud. But the 50 million coalition has the media, the education establishment, the corrupt court system, the FBI, the CIA, the IRS etc...

We have Twitter/X...and Trump is still up in the polls and packing massive rallies.

They are trying to keep them away from The United Center. But if you know Chicago, go a few blocks away from The United Center and you're in the hood. Just like the Marquette area in Milwaukee. Should be in interesting mix.

"Israel bombs a refugee camp, kills 200 civilians, and rescues 4 hostages."
-Excellent. Keep it up.

"If the IDF had any courage they would've gone in house to house and killed all these Hamas fighters."
-From the air or from the ground, whichever works. The goal in war is not to expend your own troops.

"But they don't want to fight man to man, they'd rather blast an apartment building or a hospital."
-Or a music festival. Oh, that one's already been done.

Sydney said...

For me, the young woman hostage, Noa, who was rescued yesterday, is the face of this conflict. Every time I think of October 7, I see her on that motorcycle between two terrorists, reaching toward her restrained boyfriend with her free hand and crying out in anguish. And when I see these protesters calling for Hamas to have free reign, I see them calling for that scene to be repeated thousands of times.

Drago said...

Lem the artificially intelligent: "Isn’t Mr Biden abroad?"

No, he's still a dude. Given the polls however, Dr Jill might transition him for votes...

...wait. what?

damikesc said...

Given that the hostages were held in the homes of "civilians" --- are there ANY actual civilians amongst the Jordanians living in Gaza?

If you're holding hostages --- you're a combatant. Period.

The kids who rode scooters on the pride flag were charged with felonies, and locked up in jail.

These losers who defaced the comte de Rochambeau's statue aren't even given a stern talking-to.

I believe that the style guides for all media should be updated. Rather than printing FJB or F**k Joe Biden or saying, "F Joe Biden", media should default to the phrase, "Let's Go Brandon".

Joe Smith said...

'Really, is being an Islamophobe such a bad thing?'

Nobody is afraid of Islam. But people (rightly) hate Islamists.

Sharia, as practiced by real Islam, should be outlawed in every classically liberal, western country.

It is a political system the uses god to justify the subjugation of women and the killing of Jews.

It is no better than communism, which should also be mercilessly mocked.

Skeptical Voter said...

They talk "red line". Who drew the red line (and we know how good Obama was at drawing "red lines" and then ignoring them)? And then you ask, who gives a flying flapjack about whatever red line those bozos are talking about?

James K said...

I think the reporter wanted to tell us that ,gosh, they're all such nice people.

"Fine people on both sides." Where have I heard that before?

It turns out one of those "journalists" RCOCEAN whines about being killed by the IDF was holding Noa Argamani hostage in his home. And of course we know there were many others who were aiding and abetting the slaughter of Israeli civilians on 10/7. The more dead of these "journalists" (and other "civilians" actively working with Hamas) the better for the world.

At some point the number of Palestinians Hamas reports killed by the Israelis will exceed the actual number of Palestinians. Luckily, America and Europe have a large supply of would-be Palestinians to fill the gap.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Why do they use the weasel word “near” when the fuckers SURROUNDED the White House and BEAT A COP to free a woman under arrest for assaulting the cop. Sounds pretty insurrectiony to fall back on neutral non-violent wording.

Big Mike said...

I'm sure this demonstration will have an impact. Joe Biden's blustery outbursts where he gets in someone's face and pretends to be rough and tough (three months ago he wanted to go to fist city with a union worker -- a union worker!) only happen because he knows that if the person at whom he's lip-lapping ever tries to take him up on his offer to "take it outside" then the Secret Service will quickly intervene.

He's a coward. A physical coward.

So the size and apparent ferocity of this demonstration will scare crap out of him, and probably make him pee his Depends, too.

Literally.

However, further research has shown that Aljamal worked for the Palestine Chronicle, a pro-Hamas outlet led by ex-Al-Jazeera official Ramzi Baroud, operating under the auspices of the People Media Project, a 501(c)3 organization registered since 2012 in Olympia, Washington State, whose IRS filings were not found online.

wildswan said...

According to the Hamas supporters, the Israelis mainly kill women, children and old men. Is this because women, children and old men are not allowed in to the tunnels where the young men, the Hamas fighters, shelter? tunnels which are accessed by entrance points placed in the midst of the groups of women, children and old men sheltering in schools, day care centers and hospitals? entrance points so placed that the Hamas fighters can fire on Israeli soldiers and then duck out of the way of the return fire by skittering down into their tunnels leaving women, children and old men in harm's way? Well, that's the Hamas way - women and children first, to face the return fire from Israeli soldiers; men first, to the tunnels, to the table, to the porn. Allahu Akbar? One day we'll see what the great God or even his last Prophet really thinks of the Gazan tunnel-men and their treatment of the hostages: the 80 living Israelis and the entire Gaza population, peace be upon them.
