WASHINGTON, DC: Huge pro-Hamas demonstrations denouncing President Joe Biden's administration's backing of the Jewish state and commemorating the eight months since Israel's war in Gaza started took place outside the White House on Saturday, June 8.

About 30,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators began to gather outside the Executive Mansion around noon.

A "two-mile long" red banner was unveiled by members of the Answer Coalition, one of the activist groups participating in the large-scale protest.

The banner refers to the "red line" that the group claims Biden allowed Israel to cross during the country's invasion of Rafah. The banner “lists the over 40,000 Palestinians martyred by Israel since Oct. 7,” the group posted on X (formerly Twitter).



 

After Hamas massacred 1,200 Israeli citizens on October 7, Israel launched a retaliatory invasion of the enclave.

Additional videos that were shared on social media showed some of the demonstrators lighting smoke bomb flares, which they subsequently threw onto the White House lawn.

The Andrew Jackson statue outside the White House was vandalized with the phrases “Free Gaza” and “Boycott Israel Products,” another X post showed.



 

Fencing was put up around the White House compound against the protestor's vandalism

With the demonstrators known to be violent, fencing was put up around the White House compound in case they showed up. The substantial barrier that already encloses the grounds serves as the first line of defense, followed by the fence.



 

“In preparation for the events this weekend in Washington, DC, that have the potential for large crowds to gather, additional public safety measures including anti-scale fencing have been put in place near the White House complex,” a Secret Service spokesman told The Hill.

Answer Coalition demands Joe Biden to ensure 'immediate cease-fire' in Hamas-Israel war

“Biden can’t draw the line, but we can. On June 8, we will come together from across the country and surround the White House. Wearing red, and raising our demands high, we will show the world that we are the red line,” Answer Coalition declared on its website.

“We demand an immediate cease-fire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners and an end to the occupation of Palestine,” they added.



 

 

Pro-Israel Democrats and Biden have been harassed by pro-Hamas demonstrators across the nation, insisting that they demand a cease-fire that would spare the terrorist group from total destruction.

Far-left Hamas supporters are gearing up for a forceful display at the National Democrats' convention in Chicago in August.

As Biden continues to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy during World War II in France, he will be spared the anticipated chaos outside the White House. He will be honored with a state banquet and military parade there on Saturday.

Netizens blast anti-Israel protestors for their ongoing protests

Internet users were highly disappointed and criticized the anti-semitic demonstrators for their ongoing activities.

One user wrote, "All of them are pro-Hamas potential murderers and terrorists. Mass arrests needed," while another penned, "Most of them don't really look like Americans."

"They are *not* united. They are paid to be there. And they all look exactly as you think they would," added one. "Take note Trump cohorts. All pro- Palestinians protesting that are here on visas should be deported when he assumes office again," echoed a user. "The police must stop this," opined one.
