Netanyahu visit to DC sparks violent protests

Thousands of angry protesters descended on Washington DC for a protest in and around the Capitol… stop us if you’ve heard this one before. But unlike January 6, 2020, the July 24, 2024 protests were about Gaza, and they turned violent. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington asking them to spare any taxpayer money they hadn’t yet given to Ukraine, giving an historic fourth address to Congress. The protest spread far and wide, causing clashes with police all over the city, some minor animal cruelty, 1970s nostalgia and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retreating once again to the safety of under her desk (possibly).

Outside the Capitol, US flags were burned, Palestinian flags were erected, police officers were dragged and beaten and at least two memorials – a replica of the Liberty Bell and the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain – were desecrated. Protesters channeled their inner Richard Nixon and broke into the Watergate Hotel, where Netanyahu was staying, to deposit an elite unit of anti-Israel maggots onto a dining table, before setting off all the fire alarms and running away. The protests even reached inside the chamber itself, with Palestinian American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib holding up a comically tiny sign saying ‘War Criminal.’

Surely, the US media will denounce this violent insurrection in the nation’s capital.
