Pro-Palestinian protesters crowded the White House gates Saturday evening after thousands demonstrated in downtown Washington, D.C., to call for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
The protesters originally gathered in Downtown D.C. in the afternoon, many equipped with Palestinian flags and dressed in the traditional black and white Palestinian scarves called keffiyeh, later making their way to the gates of the White House, pushing against the fence which, elicited a response from the Secret Service, according to USA Today. The protests are in response to ongoing military action by Israel in Gaza following Hamas’ surprise attack against the state on Oct. 7, 2023.
The event, called the March on Washington for Gaza, was promoted to be likely the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration since the war began, according to The Guardian. The American Muslim Task Force for Palestine and other groups organized the event, claiming that Israel is perpetuating “crimes against humanity” and that there should be the creation of a fully recognized Palestinian state.
The protest featured a number of chants, including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” according to USA Today. That particular slogan has the historical implication to many that it is calling for the eradication of the Jewish state of Israel while also promoting genocide.
A smaller group of protesters moved to the fences in front of the White House in the evening following the main rally, where they were seen banging on the barrier and chanting, according to an X video from reporter Julio Rosas. In another video, protesters can be seen increasingly pushing against the fence, prompting Secret Service personnel to man the area to prevent a breach, with attendees heard saying, “F*** Joe Biden.”
Pro-Palestinian protesters held a similar event in November in downtown D.C., with that protest ending with numerous people swarming the outer perimeter of the White House fence. In that event, protesters could be heard chanting “Allahu Akbar” and “Raise your hand, make a fist, Palestine will resist.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
