A pro-Palestine rally occurred outside the White House in Washington, D.C., and speakers called the attack on Israel from Hamas a "revolution."

The Hamas attack, launched early Saturday, left as many as 600 Israelis dead and 2,000 wounded. The Israeli counterattack in Gaza and at Hamas structures has left 313 Palestinians dead and 1,990 wounded. Israel formally declared war on Hamas, the first time the nation has done so since 1973.

At least four United States citizens are dead, and an additional seven are missing or unaccounted for, a U.S. official told the Associated Press. Several Democratic and Republican lawmakers have come out in support of Israel's military defense, while some Democratic officials and allies have called for peace on both sides and an end to the "occupation" of Israel.

Protesters in front of the White House could be heard chanting "intifada," an Arabic word that means to "shake off" and represents a series of protests or sometimes violent riots carried out by Palestinians against Israel.

The Palestinians used "intifada" to describe their uprising and frustration over Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The First Intifada lasted from 1987 to 1993, and the Second Intifada lasted from 2000 to 2005, according to Britannica.

“It’s only a matter of time before retaliation becomes your only option," a speaker at the D.C. protest could be heard saying. “Liberation is a verb. It requires action. It requires commitment. If your support for Palestinian liberation ends when resistance begins, you do not support liberation.”

The rally outside the White House comes as President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that the U.S. would send additional aid to Israel...

It’s almost as if these Pro-Palestine people knew the attack was coming.

There might have even been on inside the White House. Live band, BBQ, singing, dancing.

60 years ago, these terrorist lovers would have been rounded up and sent to their Palestine to enjoy the religion of peace, first hand

1965 Immigration Act.

The idea diversity is our strength is 180 degrees out of phase.

I can’t believe someone hasn’t shot up one of these terrorist gatherings.

I have zero present intent of doing so, nor will I, but I’m pissed enough to have given it a passing fantasy.

They keep it up and some guy with incurable cancer will take them out.

Now there are probably PLO stashes of RPGs and all sorts of other weapons in the USA. But, the FBI is concerned about Trump supporters.

“additional seven US are missing”

That will be about $7 Billion for the Hamas, unless they have raised the price.

This should not be allowed.

Any people cheering for the “Death to Israel, Death to America” terrorist group is an enemy, right under your noses.

Round ‘em up and ship ‘em out. We know, thanks to the J6 witch hunt, that this can be done.

Western countries should step up for Israel. Tourists in Israel were taken hostage, some of which were killed. Those nations, such as Germany and the USA, should send their navy and bombard Gaza until the tourists’ bodies are returned to those nations. The U.S. Navy is on its way; will Biden make demands on Hamas to return the American hostages, and would the U.S.A. fire on Gaza? Hopefully.

Dear leader Zer0 will tell Xao Bi-Dung to say he is happy to do it.

The White Hut is lying about Israeli support.

I am afraid that the US navy is there to prevent Israel from striking Iran, especially the nuclear facilities that Dear Leader Zer0 funded.

....they’re taking the people walking past their rally hostage in an act of solidarity?

We need to start considering the high IQ, big education white leftists as another race.

Little human atrocity on earth takes place without co-opting the intellectual largely white leftist beforehand-

Don’t be surprised if the pals are up for a nobel peace prize next year.
