Anti-Israel protesters have gathered in Washington, D.C., marking eight months since the start of the Israel war. The White House has increased security measures, including putting up fencing in preparation for the protest. Demonstrators plan to create a human red line around the White House, expressing frustration with President Biden for his response to the conflict.
Protesters are critical of the administration's support for Israel, despite Biden's statement that an invasion of Gaza would be a red line. They are also highlighting the casualties on the Palestinian side during the war. Grassroots volunteers have been working to organize the People's Red Line demonstration, which is set to begin at noon.
This protest is the third major pro-Palestinian rally in Washington since October 7th. Previous demonstrations have seen large crowds and passionate participants from various states, including Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. The protesters aim to send a message to policymakers in Washington, urging a change in the U.S. stance on the conflict.
Previous protests have involved symbolic actions, such as throwing bloody dolls at the White House gate and painting red hands on the walls to represent the bloodshed in the Middle East. While the administration supports peaceful protests, they have emphasized the need to avoid chaos and violence.
The current rally is underway, with a growing crowd expressing their strong opinions on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
