Palestinian Protesters Shout Terrorist Threats, Burn U.S. Flag in D.C.

Protesters arrived in Washington, D.C., today to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a Joint Meeting of Congress. The group burned a U.S. flag outside of Washington Union Station, and displayed Hamas and Palestinian flags.

Representative Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) described the demonstration of the Hamas flag near the Capitol as “disgusting,” stating on X:

Disgusting Pro-Hamas flag near the Capitol as we welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to Congress today. The United States will ALWAYS stand with our great ally, Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

A protester outside of the Watergate Hotel was recorded repeatedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” and making death threats to Netanyahu, yelling, “We are going to kill all of you,” and “Netanyahu, we are going to take his neck off.”
