HD video thread: Today a coalition of thousands of activists held a Free Palestine march in Washington DC.

This was, by far, the most well-attended activist event I've seen during the Biden administration in Washington DC.

"Biden Biden, you will see! Palestine will be free!"

"Israel is a terror state!" chanted activists on the steps of the National Archives. "Israel is an apartheid State!"

"Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go!"

"Jerusalem is ours alone!" chanted the #FreePalestine activists as they approached the U.S. Capitol. "Gaza is ours alone!"

"Settler settler go back home, Palestine is ours alone!"

"Free, free Palestine!"

"Palestine is no longer taboo! We are rising," said Jinan Shabt of The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee @adc.

"We have members of congress who support us!"

She encouraged #FreePalestine activists to reach out to congress.

"We need to condition the aid to Israel!"

Hannah Shraim from @CAIRNational told #FreePalestine activists to demand congress divest from Israel and support for House Bill 2590.

"Invest it back into our Black and Brown communities who are policed by a terror force," she said. "Not into the state of Israel."

An organizer with @AMPalestine noted that Biden is holding a White House Eid celebration tomorrow, which received instant "boos."

"You better believe we will not walk on the graves of our Palestinian children by celebrating with him," he said, encouraging a boycott.

"We need sanctions! Demilitarize Israel!" said Professor Noura Erakat @4noura. "Save all of Palestine from the river to the sea! We will all be free!"

She led the group in chants of "Free, free Palestine!" before complimenting the movement for not giving up over decades.

Here is my full @N2Sreports video summary of today's #FreePalestine march in Washington DC.
