Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Demand Ceasefire and Condemn Israeli Bombing

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Washington, DC, before marching to the White House, chanting "Allahu akbar" and "F--k Joe Biden," accusing the president of genocide and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest, which drew attendees from across the country, included chants calling for the elimination of the State of Israel. While mostly peaceful, some vandals defaced the White House gates with red paint, and a nearby McDonald's was also damaged. Similar protests took place in Manhattan and London, with arrests made in the latter. Speakers at the DC protest encouraged the crowd's anger and called for an end to US aid to Israel. The protest ended without major incidents.
