ANALYSIS – It was a very large demonstration of support for Hamas terrorists in D.C. this weekend, under the guise of support for Palestinians. It was also angrily anti-Israel and anti-Biden. I personally witnessed the long march around the White House.
The crowds on Saturday were massive. Many had signs claiming Israel was committing ‘genocide' in Gaza, while others said, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Palestinian supporters will argue it is simply an expression of nationalism but is also a phrase used by Hamas to refer to the eradication of the state of Israel and all the Jews.
One person posted on X at the time:
While most of the protesters I saw were orderly, there were multiple reports of vandalism, and one mob swarmed the northern fence of the White House chanting anti-Biden slogans such as “Genocide Joe” and “F*** Joe Biden.”
The Daily Wire reported:
Getting as close as they could to the White House grounds, demonstrators grabbed onto and shook the security fence as law enforcement stood guard on the other side. One man even partially scaled the fence and waved a Palestinian flag as the crowd sang for a “free Palestine.”
Instances of vandalism were spotted throughout the area. Red hands, likely made out of paint but made to look like blood, defaced one of the White House entrances. Video appeared to show Secret Service agents within the White House perimeter tear down a long banner attached to the fence from the outside which would have obstructed their view of the situation. People also climbed onto statues in nearby Lafayette Park and covered the historical statues with their signs and flags.

He added:
Some protesters defaced multiple statues and wrapped Palestinian flags around a statue of Benjamin Franklin.
Fox news reported:
Gates to the White House vandalized by demonstrators taking part in this weekend's pro-Palestinian protests have yet to be cleaned up as of Monday morning.
“Today, the National Park Service in coordination with the White House Historical Association are coordinating the removal of the spray paint,” a spokesperson for Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) told Fox News Digital.
Photos at an entry gate north of the White House show red handprints smeared across the bricks, pro-Palestine stickers and messages advocating to “free Palestine” in the aftermath of demonstration in Washington, D.C., Saturday.
The Secret Service said that its uniformed officers around the White House and other executive buildings did not make any arrests during the demonstrations.
The Daily Wire added:
As Israeli forces now fight in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas officials who openly admit they hide among civilians, leftist Democrats railed at Biden. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) accused Biden of backing genocide and delivered an election ultimatum. “Biden, support a ceasefire now or don't count on us in 2024,” read the text card in one of her videos.
