Pro-Palestine groups congregated outside the White House on Sunday in a disturbing display of support for the ongoing violence in Israel.
The gathering celebrated the recent terrorist attacks and kidnappings in Israel, where Hamas Islamist militants have reportedly killed hundreds of innocent Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers, including women and children.
The death toll from these attacks has surpassed 600 Israelis, a horrifying statistic that has drawn international attention. Yet, while the world watches in horror, supporters of Hamas were seen rallying and dancing to loud music outside the White House.
Video footage posted on X showed the crowd at Lafayette Square, where they chanted, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a call for the genocide of Israelis. A speech was given, recounting the chilling tale of Hamas terrorists capturing and slaughtering Israeli soldiers. This was reported by Wid Lyman, who posted the video footage.
One pro-Hamas speaker even quoted Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong, referring to him as a "great revolutionary." Zedong, a founding member of the People's Republic of China, is infamously known for his role in causing the deaths of tens of millions of people.
In response to the escalating violence, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared war on Saturday. This followed the invasion of the country by Hamas terrorists, who have been executing and kidnapping innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.
"Since this morning, the State of Israel has been at war. Our first objective is to clear out the hostile forces that infiltrated our territory and restore the security and quiet to the communities that have been attacked. The second objective, at the same time, is to exact an immense price from the enemy, within the Gaza Strip as well," Netanyahu stated. He further emphasized the need for unity and level-headedness in achieving victory.
Among the reported atrocities committed by Hamas was the execution of a child in front of its siblings while the family was held captive. The militants also paraded the naked dead body of a German female citizen they had killed throughout the Gaza strip.
As Israel faces attacks from Palestine's Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, law enforcement agencies across the globe are on high alert. The US State Department has confirmed that among those killed in Israel at the hands of Hamas include Americans, Canadians, and citizens of other countries.
In a show of support for Israel, the United States military began moving naval assets toward the eastern section of the Mediterranean Sea on Sunday. This move is also in preparation for the potential evacuation of US citizens if required.
Hamas responded to the US's military maneuver with a threat to the Biden administration, warning that the United States "must realize the consequences of this step," as reported by Al Jazeera.
In addition to the pro-Palestine rally in Washington DC, other groups across the United States, including New York City and San Francisco, are also reportedly celebrating the brutal slaying of Jews.
