Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before a joint session of Congress last week. Shamefully, no Vermont member of Congress was in attendance. Neither Senators Bernie Sanders or Peter Welch, nor Representative Becca Balint were in attendance at Netanyahu’s visit. The Vermont delegation could not be bothered to hear what the elected leader of Israel had to say. In a predictable response to his visit, pro-Palestinian protestors held demonstrations in our nation’s capital that were destructive and hostile.
This article features a compilation of scenes and stories from the protests as seen by reporters on the ground. Although most of the clips depict disgraceful protestors, one positive scene shows an American patriot rescuing our flag from being burned to pieces in front of Union Station. These protestors demand an “end to genocide”, yet they do not understand what they are supporting.
We get a glimpse of what Palestinians really stand for in this video by Israeli filmmaker, Oren Cahanovitc titled, “Why are there so many Palestinian casualties?” This video exposes the motivations behind Hamas and the Palestinians which DC’s protestors refuse to acknowledge.
