A massive pro-Hamas protest took place outside the White House, marking eight months since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza and condemning the Biden regime’s backing of the Jewish state. An estimated 30,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the Executive Mansion on Saturday.

Among the activist groups participating in the demonstration was the Answer Coalition, who unveiled a “two-mile long” red banner symbolizing the “red line” that Joe Biden allegedly allowed Israel to cross during its Rafah invasion. The banner displayed the names of over 40,000 Palestinians who the coalition claims were martyred by Israel since October 7.

The protests were sparked by Israel’s retaliatory invasion of Gaza following Hamas’ reported massacre of 1,200 Israeli citizens on October 7. In anticipation of potentially violent demonstrations, fencing was set up around the White House compound, adding to the existing barriers already protecting the grounds.
A Secret Service spokesman confirmed the additional safety measures put in place near the White House complex in response to the expected large crowds gathering for the demonstration. The Answer Coalition declared on their website that they aimed to surround the White House on June 8, demanding an immediate cease-fire, an end to the Gaza siege, release of Palestinian prisoners, and an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Pro-Hamas protestors have been calling on Joe Biden and pro-Israel Democrats to push for a cease-fire to protect the Hamas organization. Reports suggest that national Democrats are bracing for far-left Hamas supporters’ presence at their upcoming August convention in Chicago.

Notably, Joe Biden is currently in France, participating in the 80th-anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings in Normandy during World War II. On D-Day, Joe gave a speech where he plagarized Ronald Reagan. Watch:
