WASHINGTON: While Israel seems unmoved from its atrocities and massacre of innocent civilians in Gaza, the world anger is boiling up against the Zionist state and its backers, especially the US, with the masses taking to the streets calling for an end to the Israeli madness and the US backing of it.
Thousands protesters marched through Washington in one of the biggest demonstrations in the US since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza, stepping up pressure on President Joe Biden to end support of the Jewish state.
According to reports, mass demonstrations were also held in cities across the United States (US) that denounced Israel and called on the Biden administration to pressure Israel to stop its genocide of Palestinian people, according to US media reports, foreign news agencies reported.
In Washington, raising slogans such as ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ and donning black and white keffiyehs while holding Palestinian flags, the protesters, predominantly young individuals, gathered on the street leading to the White House.
The protesters also splashed red paint at the gates of the White House, symbolising the blood of Palestinians being ruthlessly killed and besieged Gaza, and attempted to scale the fence around the president’s residence early Sunday morning, according to footage shared from the scene.
“Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT!” the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (Answer) coalition said on its website.
