Protesters lower American flags, raise Palestinian ones in their place
Protesters responded to Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit with protests that included lowering American flags and raising Palestinian flags in their place. They also burned U.S. flags and an effigy of Netanyahu. People cheered the lowering of the American flags in Washington’s Union Station, and then praised the hoisting of the Palestinian flags. You could hear some among the crowd saying, “Allahu Akbar.” Other protesters decided to try to cross a blockade that the U.S. Capitol Police were overlooking. The protesters failed to obey orders when asked to step back.
From Reuters:
Netanyahu, while addressing Congress, said he had a message for the protesters.
“When the tyrants of Tehran who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran’s useful idiots,” he said, using a Cold War-era term for people who are manipulated for a political agenda.
Protesters deny such charges and say their demonstrations are a response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza where nearly the entire 2.3 million population have been displaced.
A stage at the protest site near the Capitol was decked with banners, including one that declared the Israeli leader a “Wanted War Criminal” in reference to an arrest warrant sought by International Criminal Court prosecutors. Netanyahu denies war crimes allegations.
Nearby, demonstrators placed nearly 30 human-size cardboard coffins wrapped in Palestinian flags. Traffic was barred from several roads near the Capitol.
“I want all aid (to) be suspended to Israel due to its actions in Gaza,” said Bradley Cullinan, who said he traveled to the area from Columbus, Ohio, 400 miles (640 km) away.
Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon took to the stage and condemned the death toll in Gaza. “No one is free until everyone is free,” Sarandon said.
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers skipped Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, expressing dismay over the deaths and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza where nearly all of its 2.3 million people have been displaced.
Members of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group carried Palestinian flags and signs reading “Free Palestine” and “Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism,” while a group of younger protesters danced to Arabic music and carried large banners reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Stop War Crimes in Gaza.”
The ultra-Orthodox Jewish group apparently didn’t get the memo that there are Hamas religious leaders who call for the extermination of the Jews.

Billy Ray Cyrus has released a statement on his audio recording argument with wife Firerose. He said he normally wouldn’t behave like that but he was “at his wit’s end”.
Showbiz has gone to his head– look what it did to his family.
She doesn’t like Dad any more about the whole thing:

And this scum decided to storm the Watergate Hotel where Netanyahu is staying and released maggots.
Yuck!
https://thehill.com/homenews/4790944-watergate-hotel-sanitized-maggots-protest-netanyahu/
That doesn’t surprise me at all, but where the hell was the security??? I don’t expect much from the Secret Service at this point, but Mossad???
Where was Orkin?
Just like the dems in general, they’re tearing off the mask, and not even trying to hide. As the idiot yelling aloha snackbar in the crowd, these are NOT terrorist supporters, they ARE terrorists, and should be treated as such! This WILL get worse in the run up to the election.
As a wise man that haunts these environs says often, PREPARE…
As has been said before, but I concur:
Will they arrest and toss in jail, be given the same treatment that J6 people received, or is this not considered an insurrection since no gavel was handled or feet put on a desk.
Oh wait. This was a mostly peaceful protest. Got it.
Did anybody die of a heart attack or a drug overdose? If the answer is yes then it was an insurrection.
Capitol police didn’t kill anyone, so it’s only a “mostly peaceful protest”.
Vice President Harris has formed a fund to pay for the bail for the protesters just like she did in the last decade.
She’s still the face of the last fund.

It’s pretty much the same fund. The same people are involved on all sides of the equation.
Obama is at it again
He’s telegraphing it enough
Why is the media not doing it job
I know why
Zero is just the figurehead, it’s Soros et al behind the scenes that are running things.. B. Hussein just isn’t that bright..
That’s not what Joe said:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
You could always count on occasional bursts of honesty from Uncle Joe. As long as it wasn’t scripted, and he wasn’t talking about himself.
That and B. Hussein 0bama is another one of Soros’s puppets.
Too bad our stock of napalm is so low.
I was kinda leaning towards boiling oil.
Hack posted it before, and Hack will post it again. Why did the leaders of Gaza, safely ensconced in 5 star luxury hotels in Dubai, launch this unprovoked attack against Israel? Any tabletop exercise would have demonstrated that there was no way that they would be able to strike without an overwhelming response devastating Gaza. So why did they do it? They strike Israel, Israel responds, as is there right, Gaza gets obliterated, then the money train rolls in. Billions and billions of dollars will start flowing in to rebuild Gaza, and just like every other humanitarian effort, whether in Africa, the Caribbean, or the Middle East, those in power will take it all and leave their subjects to figure it out on their own on how to recover.
And all those Palestinians in Gaza get to line up for the opportunity to die for the cause. Hamas gives not a single fuck about their people unless they can be killed by the Israelis. It must suck to live in a country where your death is worth more than your life.
This is an Information Operation against the American people. Hamas attacks Israelis and the media coverage is brief and censored of its most disturbing images. Media coverage of the October attacks ceases when Israel responds with a military operation and the resulting longer coverage of the military operation in Gaza overwhelms coverage of the initial attack on Israel.
Any aid that is sent is quickly seized by Hamas and redistributed to their fighters, enabling Hamas operations while being able to show the world the suffering of the Palestinian people and claiming they are victims of Israeli oppression and insufficient aid. The more aid we send, the more aid is stolen by Hamas.
This IO is a win win for Hamas and the only ones paying the price are Palestinian people who Hamas considers worthy of martyrdom.
A self licking ice cream cone. The more aid you send, the longer Hamas can hold out. Cut out all foreign aid. With no food, ammunition or money flowing, the low ranking Hamas martyrs may start asking why they are getting killed while their fearless leaders have to endure the hot tub at their Dubai penthouse suite being to bubbly.
‘Nuff said…
Unlike the Middle East Policy experts and future baristas majoring in Gender Studies at some over priced Marxist Indoctrination Center, I know the blame for the violence does not fall squarely on any one side. I also know the Hamas leaders and their Masters in Iran & Qatar must be pleased. Having much of the world turn on Israel and stoking the fires of increased antisemitism was always the goal. The number of Palestinian causalities was considered the “price of doing business”. The more dead the better the for Mullahs who care not about the Palestinians’ suffering. 95% of these college douchebags couldn’t find Gaza on a map on 10/6. The Alphabet Mafia rallying to their cause makes me laugh have been through that part of the world twice.
Maybe we should start running this instead of the 7 o’clock news. Ike had the right idea to film this

Were their FBI plants in the crowd to agitate them????
I long for the times when we could stomp folk’s asses for taking our flag down. Times have changed.
Ok you lovers of all things mad mullah…PHUQUE YOU…and the camel you rode in on. You can protest all you want to but removing Our Colors and replacing them with another country’s is a bridge too far. And news flash for you POSes…SCOTUS ruling be damned…you burning Our Flag is a bridge even further. DOUBLE PHUQUE YOU ALL!
I say again…you want to support the Palis? Have at it! Take your happy asses to Gaza and join the fight. Palis voted for Ham Ass…Ham Ass FA&FO. I have eggxactly ZERO (0) PHUQUES to give for any of them…or you.
I’ll also say again (as he preaches to the choir) we gonna see more of this and yes, it will get worse.
Pro tip to Patriots…Prepare
Tear down and burn up the US flag for your protests? Fuck you AND the camel you rode in on.
Too bad The PDRoM, the District of Criminals, and north Virginia (in attitude, if not law) are Gun Free Zones.
All those “protestors”, all out in the open, in public……such lovely lovely Targets of Opportunity.
Any hunter, sniper or wanna-be would love to have a hide around there. And it wouldn’t need to be high power ammunition. 22LR, 22WMR, maybe even .223, would work just fine (depending on distance).
My attitude is, I don’t wanna kill ’em outright, but I do want to make them suffer before (if) they expire.
Does this attitude make me a bad person?
WMAL just reported that the idiots in Arlington Virginia are upset with the City Council for not passing a resolution condemning Israel for the war in Gaza. Up until today Hack Stone was not aware that the people who pass ordinances requiring you to pick up your dog’s business also have the authority and influence to foreign countries on their domestic and international policies. The more you know.
If my local jurisdiction would just pass a resolution condemning (and towing) derelict vehicles on streets in my neighborhood, I’d be happy.
How dare they not be indignant.
Meanwhile, life in Los Angeles… gosh, what is it those women selling?
I say we pass a Rittenhouse law.
Under that law, it’s open on protesters.
Anybody burning the flag or promoting anti-American auntie Israel, Anti Allies, Pro enemies of the United States, Is absolutely free to do all the protesting they want at any place they want….
Conservative American, who loves this country, Is free to shoot them in the dick, Or the kneecaps or the vagina or the stomach….
As needed to suppress, Illegal immoral, unpatriotic un American behavior.
And we should guarantee them free healthcare, Should they survive their interactions. Meaning, we should airdrop them into a central American country that has socialized medicine.
Problem solved problem staying solved
I second this. Dick and mangina shots should win the Bob Barker Memorial prize for spaying/neutering mangy, flea & louse infested mongrels .
About those ultra orthodox jews, there are some groups that don’t recognize the state of Israel because they believe only the messiah can reestablish Israel.
They seem to be happy if all the jews in Israel are killed, just to prove their misguided “ultra orthodox” interpretation of the Torah is correct.
My grandpa used to have a very harsh opinion of them. Something along the line of fake ass jews in the latest 18th century Polish fashion, with big pelt hats imitating their former Polish and Russian overlords.
The Society of Silly Hats supporting HAMASS is almost as ridiculous as Queers & Trannys doing so.
“The ultra-Orthodox Jewish group apparently didn’t get the memo that there are Hamas religious leaders who call for the extermination of the Jews.”
Because they live in America, that’s why.
