Demonstrations Take Place While Netanyahu Speaks Before Congress
Let's discuss a disturbing incident that took place in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Left-wing pro-Hamas extremists tore down and burned American flags while chanting "Allahu Akbar" and waving Hamas terrorist flags. This chaotic scene was in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before the U.S. Congress, where he thanked lawmakers for their continued support of Israel in its conflict with Hamas.

The chaos erupted at Union Station, where the extremists took down three American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags. As they set the American flags ablaze, they chanted "Allahu Akbar," a phrase often used by Islamic terrorists during attacks. The violence didn't stop there. The extremists also vandalized the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain with graffiti reading "Hamas Is Coming" and "Zionists Go To Hell."

Some of these extremists carried Hamas flags or flags associated with Islamic extremism, wore Hamas headbands, and even held pro-Nazi signs referencing Islam's "Final Solution" for the Jewish State. This shocking display of violence and hate underscores the deep-seated tensions and hostilities that continue to affect the region and beyond.

Deport every single one of them who are not citizens immediately.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech highlighted Israel's ongoing struggle against Hamas, particularly in light of the horrific October 7 massacre. Netanyahu's address to Congress was a plea for continued support in combating what he described as genocidal Islamic terrorists.
