Thousands pro-Palestine demonstrators marched on Washington, D.C., demanding a Gaza ceasefire. They directed their rage primarily at Joe Biden.
60 degrees in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, but everyone packed into Freedom Plaza was sweating. The sun glanced off the silver tips of flag poles and bright white protest signs and so many glossy photographs showing bombed-out buildings turned to rubble and bloodied bodies of children killed in the Gaza Strip.
A couple blocks later I asked the question again, this time to a group of young women from North Virginia who had wrapped their heads and faces in black and white keffiyehs. They were too young to have voted in 2020, but I asked if they would vote for Biden in 2024. Almost before the words had left my mouth, Malak, 19, threw her head back and yelled “HELLLLLL NO.”
boomer woman dressed like a tourist climb up a traffic light on the side of Pennsylvania Avenue. She stayed there for several minutes, grinning, helping the kids wave a big Palestinian flag while one kept his arm around her back, holding her safe in their perch. The protest made clear that support for Palestine has blossomed from a niche left-wing cause to a central tenet of the greater progressive movement.As the speeches wound down, the protest moved out of the plaza heading in a tight counter-clockwise loop of central D.C. The crowd took up entire city blocks at a time, but stayed incredibly peaceful.
