Many dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the President Joe Biden’s motorcade route from the White House to the U.S. Capitol on Thursday night ahead of his State of the Union address.
The far-left demonstrators were protesting the U.S.’s support for Israel, which has been waning because of weakness from the Biden administration, in the wake of Palestinian terrorists with Hamas murdering 1,200 people during the October 7 terrorist attack. Thousands more were wounded, hundreds were kidnapped, and a campaign of rape was unleashed upon Israeli women.
The protesters held signs and wore shirts with various phrases, including “Biden’s Legacy = Genocide”, “Homes Not Drones”, “Not In Our Name”, “End The Blockcade On Gaza”, and “Ceasefire”.
A person holding a megaphone screamed, “The corporations get to have more rights than us and the people in Gaza! Shame! Shame! Shame! Criminal!”

Fox 5 said that many of the protesters appeared to be with the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
“WE SAY NO, GENOCIDE JOE!” the group posted on Instagram. “We all know what the real state of this country is: horror and rage against our U.S. government, for funding and facilitating genocide with our tax dollars while neglecting the needs of our communities.”
“Come out for a public rally & mass direct action this Thursday, March 7, at 6 PM ET to protest Genocide Joe’s war crimes in the belly of the beast, ahead of his State of the Union address,” the post added. “Let’s raise our voices loud and clear at Lafayette Square outside the White House. Our People’s State of the Union rally will demonstrate that the U.S. public demands a permanent ceasefire now and an end to arming Israel with our tax dollars.”
“NOT ANOTHER NICKEL, NOT ANOTHER DIME, NO MORE MONEY FOR ISRAEL’S CRIMES!” the post claimed.
