[6][7] On 24 July 2024, thousands of demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States and his joint address made in Congress.
The main demonstration was organized by the ANSWER Coalition, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the People's Forum, and the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, among other groups.
[14] Protesters heavily defaced the Freedom Bell outside of Union Station with spray paint and markers, writing messages including "End colonialism", "Hind's Hall", "Fuck America", "Welcome to the Intifada", "Anarchy 2025", and "This is Biden's legacy".
[17] Capitol Police made a public statement reporting that they arrested six people who entered the House gallery without permission to disrupt Netanyahu's joint address.
[11] Kamala Harris condemned the "despicable acts and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric" by demonstrators who rioted outside the capitol expressing support for Hamas and burning American flags.
