Anti-war activists carrying a mock coffin protest outside of the White House during a pro-Palestinian demonstration asking for a cease fire in Gaza in Washington, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. Scenes of pro-Palestinian demonstrators shaking the White House gate and defacing statues throughout the District resulted in a single arrest Saturday as thousands descended on the nation’s capital to protest for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war.
D.C. police also said the department was investigating acts of vandalism that damaged police vehicles and the McPherson Square Metro Station, but D.C. police confirmed Sunday that no additional arrests have been made related to the demonstrations. Videos taken from the demonstration showed that part of the White House gate was splotched with red paint.
Hamas was behind the Oct. 7 attack that set off the war when insurgents killed large numbers of civilians, including elderly and children. More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed so far in the conflict. Chants of “Biden, Biden you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” and “Hey hey, ho ho, Genocide Joe has got to go!” rang out from the crowd during the march.
