Raw footage thread: Pro-Palestine activists rallied this afternoon in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC. Hundreds attended and chanted in support of Palestinians and against Zionism.
"Hey hey, ho ho, Israel has got to go!"
"Free, free Palestine!"
The activists brought four fake coffins draped in Palestinian flags up to the DC Israeli Embassy, where they read the names civilians killed by Israeli airstrikes.
(Note: I didn't include all the names in this shot - this took about ten minutes. It's in the livestream fully.)
One Palestinian activist who came from Cleveland spoke into my cam to politicians.
He praised 25 members of congress who sent a letter to Sec. Blinken condemning eviction of Palestinians.
"America must end its alliance with Israel," he said.
"End it now!" the crowd chanted.
One responded to those who tie Palestinian activists to Hamas.
"With any group there's a small percentage who do things wrong," he said. "It's like basing all Islam on ISIS."
He says Israel uses this to kill Palestinians.
"Stand up, fight back" he led the crowd in chanting.
"As Muslims, as Arabs, we condemn ISIS because they operate under the guise of Islam," one activist told the crowd.
"Zionist are likewise fucking terrorists because they operate under the guise of Judaism. They're not Jewish."
"Zionists are terrorists" the crowd chanted.
