Anti-Israel protesters in Washington, D.C., removed and burned American flags at Union Station, replacing them with Palestinian flags during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Congress.
The disgusting incident led to numerous arrests and left viewers aghast.
Videos showed extensive vandalism in the area as protesters demanded Netanyahu’s arrest. One protester allegedly had the flag of Hamas in hand, while others were heard shouting “Allahu Akbar!”
Agitators burned an American flag and vandalized a statue with the words “Hamas is coming.” They also took down other American flags in the area and hoisted the Palestinian flag in its place.
Other clips show protesters getting into scuffles with officers, prompting U.S. Park Police to pull their permit for the protest.
Nothing to see here. Dragging police officers, burning flags, and vandalizing public property is peaceful… 2020 all over again, except this time we have fewer officers… no help from @Interior… #DefundThePolice pic.twitter.com/IPsaqMqNFk

Protesters Slam Israel, Declare Love For Palestine
When a foreign power raises its flag in a country that’s been invaded, it typically symbolizes conquest or control over that territory.
Did you ever think you’d see the day? In America?
In addition to the despicable display at Union Station, pro-Hamas radicals also protested the leader of Israel by releasing a massive number of maggots and crickets in the hotel where Netanyahu was staying.
🚨BIOLOGICAL WARFARE🚨
The DC Palestinian Youth Movement released maggots & crickets throughout the Watergate Hotel where Netanyahu is staying.
This is known as Entomological warfare (EW), a type of biological warfare.

Filth fighting with filth.
Netanyahu, in his speech to a joint session of Congress, slammed the pro-Palestinian protesters.
“I have a message for these 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,” Netanyahu said.
“Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza. They might as well hold up signs saying ‘Chickens for KFC.’ These protesters chant ‘From the river to the sea.’ But many don’t have a clue what river and what sea they’re talking about.”
Some Patriots DID Step In On Protest
Ask yourself this question – If you were to ask the people burning American flags who they support, do you think they’d say Kamala Harris or Donald Trump?
One unidentified person did try to step in amidst the chaos. A man was seen grabbing a fragment of the American flag in an attempt to save Old Glory.
“I grabbed what I could out of the fire and ran,” the man says in a video posted to X. “I’m ashamed I didn’t stop and go back and get the rest of it.”
At least he did something.
In response to the reprehensible protests, several House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, replaced the American flags and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
