U.S Capitol police officers walk into the Capitol building a day before of Israel 's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visit to Capitol Hill, on July 23, in Washington.Police deployed pepper spray Wednesday as a large crowd protesting Israel ’s war in Gaza marched toward the U.S. Capitol , where Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking to Congress.
Protesters carrying signs with messages such as “arrest Netanyahu” and “end all U.S. aid to Israel” rallied near the Capitol before marching toward the building. Organizers said they would try to block Netanyahu’s route to the building, and police forcibly removed from the street protesters who were trying to block one intersection.
Among the protesters was a group of artists from Baltimore displaying a massive papier-mâché sculpture meant to depict President Joe Biden with blood on his hands and devil horns. They said the sculpture took months to construct and is meant to represent Biden’s unwillingness to stand up to Israel. Dozens of protesters rallied outside Netanyahu’s hotel Monday evening after his arrival in Washington, and on Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators staged a flashmob-style protest in the Cannon building, which houses offices of House members.
“I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and I know what a Holocaust looks like,” said Jane Hirschmann, a native of Saugerties, New York, who drove down for the protest along with her two daughters — both of whom were arrested. “When we say ‘Never Again,’ we mean never for anybody.”
