Anti-Israel protests held at White House and across US after resumption of Gaza strikes

Anti-Israel protest groups held rallies outside the White House and across the United States on Tuesday, with more planned for Wednesday, after Israel renewed its air campaign against the Hamas terror group and its allies in Gaza, demanding the release of hostages.

The Palestinian Youth Movement announced protests in cities including Washington, New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Los Angeles.

The group’s New York branch shared videos of a crowd in Times Square chanting “End the Zionist occupation” and marching through Manhattan shouting “imperialism will fall.” The footage showed protesters holding banners with phrases and symbols frequently employed in Hamas propaganda.

The group also posted footage of protesters in front of the White House chanting, “Gaza, Yemen, make us proud, tear this occupation down.” The chant was an apparent reference to Hamas in Gaza and to the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. Both terror groups, backed by Iran, are sworn to Israel’s destruction.

Other video from the White House showed protesters chanting in Arabic, “Raise, raise, raise the flag of the revolution!” and holding signs attributed to the “Party for Socialism and Liberation,” calling for an end to all US aid to Israel and support for “resistance to occupation.”
