A building in Washington D.C. was vandalized with graffiti messages reading, "Death to Israel" and "Glory 2 the Martyrs," as thousands of protesters descended on the nation's capital to protest on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Palestinians with such hatred should be ousted.
"In our backyard: "Death to Israel" and "Glory to our Martyrs," among other violent antisemitic graffiti spotted in Washington DC. #WhereIsTheOutrage," the Israeli embassy to the United States said in an X post Saturday. The footage showed a series of graffiti messages reading, "Free Gaza" and "F--k Israel." The antisemitic graffiti messages were spotted the same weekend as thousands descended on Washington, D.C. to march Saturday afternoon, calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, and an end to U.S. aid to Israel. One protester said they came to the protest to let "their voices be heard."
"We came here to let our voices be heard and our hearts and hoping we’ll change the way people see this conflict," demonstrator Manar Ghanayem told the Washington Post. "Every human is entitled to basic human rights, not killing kids, not torturing people," she said. "Palestine will be free," demonstrators chanted as an enormous Palestinian flag was unfurled along Pennsylvania Avenue — the street leading up to the White House.
