On January 13, I attended the March for Gaza in Washington, D.C. I wondered, who are these protesters marching in solidarity with Hamas? Hamas is the terrorist group responsible for the October 7 massacre of more than 1,200 innocent Israelis, including children, and the capture of 240 hostages, including Americans. Surely some of these protesters would also demand through their megaphones that “Hamas, free the hostages now!” or that “Hamas surrender now!” As Israel stated many times, there would be a ceasefire if Hamas released the hostages.
It was my first event after ankle surgery. I went alone, so I needed to keep a low profile. Several blocks away from Freedom Square, where the protest began, I heard the chant “ceasefire now!” in the background.
I came across about 50 people parading in the street, led by a well nourished American black woman with long dreadlocks. From her megaphone she belted out, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” Here in the nation’s capital, I heard a call for the genocide of the Jewish people.
What intrigued me at the march were two distinctive LGBT flags flapping in the breeze among the screaming protesters. I thought, “Don’t these marchers understand that homosexuality is a capital crime under sharia law, and Palestinians who openly express their gayness are often killed?” Yet, in Israel, the very country they accuse of genocide, homosexuality is not only legal, but openly embraced. In fact, many LGBT Palestinians have sought asylum in Israel. As I pondered the irony, I noticed that the marchers, with their professionally made signs, changed their loud mantra to “intifada revolution,” a call for violent revolution and overthrow of Jewish Israel.
Closer to Freedom Square, the crowds thickened to an estimated total of around 10,000.

I guess he needs to balance the story, since the rest of the article only says bad things about the Palestinians.

Sounds like it could have easily turned into a Pronoun Hoedown. Don’t want too many farm implements laying around in that event.
Most likely paid protesters.
My thoughts exactly.
