Protest against Netanyahu in DC

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Wednesday prompted significant protests in Washington, D.C., with hundreds demonstrating against his visit. Many protesters condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, chanting slogans such as 'Free Palestine' and labeling Netanyahu a 'Wanted War Criminal.' Notable figures, including actress Susan Sarandon, joined the protests, emphasizing a message of solidarity with Palestinians. The demonstrations included a sit-in at a congressional office building and were organized by groups like the Answer Coalition and Jewish Voice for Peace. While the White House condemned the protesters' actions, including the display of Hamas flags, the protests highlighted a deep divide over U.S. support for Israel amid ongoing violence. The event drew attention from various organizations and religious leaders, reflecting widespread dissent against the Israeli government's policies.
