Anti-Israel protestors and Hamas sympathizers who desecrated Washington, D.C.'s Union Station have learned their fates. A minimum of eight people who participated in the anti-Israel protest during Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech Wednesday are now facing federal criminal charges after defacing federal property and fighting police. Some protestors, however, have had their charges dropped by more lenient Washington, D.C. prosecutors. Frederick Coates, Crow Momamome and Antonio Somerville have all been charged with attempting to carry a dangerous weapon, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C. Nathaniel Lawrence, Sonia Krishan and Roger Miller have been charged with attempted theft....

It was a s–tshow. US Park Police were “alone” and “understaffed” while being “assaulted by a mob of thousands” of pro-Hamas rioters in Washington, DC, on Wednesday — some of whom even pelted officers with poop, according to the force’s union chief. Park Police Fraternal Order of Police chairman Kenneth Spencer told The Post in an interview a day after the unhinged riot that just 29 of his officers had faced down the terrorist-sympathizing mob outside Union Station — which is just blocks from the Capitol. “We were primarily alone,” said Spencer, a 15-year veteran who revealed that years of...

Park Police was 'understaffed' to handle DC protesters, union head says ...During the protest, pro-Hamas agitators threw human feces at U.S. Park Police officers, burned an American flag, raised a Palestinian flag, and defaced several monuments with graffitied slogans such as "abolish the U.S.A" and "Hamas is coming." Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) on Thursday called for the Department of Justice to prosecute the offenders with the same vigor that it pursued the Jan. 6 rioters. "It boiled my red American blood to see somebody take down the American flag and burn it and then raise the flag...

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu nailed it when today he said“When the tyrants of Tehran who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising and promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots.” Those scumbag useful idiots were on full display this afternoon causing chaos at the Capitol and at Union Station in DC. Currently, absolute chaos is unfolding as thousands of Pro-Palestine protesters have gathered at Union Station in Washington, DC. Moments ago, they took down three American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags, with crowds of thousands cheering....

Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones....

Netanyahu will be speaking before a joint meeting of Congress on July 24. The People’s Forum wrote in a post on X on Wednesday that the group would be shutting down Washington, DC, when Netanyahu arrives and would “issue a notice of a citizen’s arrest.” “The people charge Benjamin Netanyahu with genocide,” the group wrote. “When the car criminal comes to Washington DC on July 24, we...

A group of anti-Israel activists took over a subway car in New York City on Monday and demanded to know if there were any Zionists on board. The masked activists yelled, "Raise your hands if you're a Zionist! This is your chance to get out!" The incident occurred the same day as an anti-Israel rally in which demonstrators justified the atrocities committed by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7 and called for more violence against Jews and Israelis. Protestors marched from Union Square to the site of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in downtown Manhattan. Video from the protest...

Protesters were heard chanting "Long live the Intifada" and "Kill another Zionist now," and unfurled banners reading "Long live October 7" and "Jihad of Victory or Martyrdom." Video footage from the protest shows a woman leading the crowd in chants that justified the massacre at the music festival. "When the Zionists decided to rave," she yelled, with the crowd repeating after her, "next to a concentration camp, that's exactly what this music festival was. It's like having a rave right next to the gas chambers during the Holocaust." The woman and the crowd continued to chant that the exhibition was...

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking...

Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini called out Victoria Police for their handling of “protected species” pro-Palestine protestors. Mr Yemini joined Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt to discuss his treatment as a reporter covering pro-Palestine protests in Melbourne. “In what world can you go up and act like that violently in front of police?” he asked. “Not only do they not intervene, they literally tell you they witnessed a crime and they just let it happen. “There is no other place where that happens.”

Politics, they say, makes strange bedfellows, but there is nothing really strange about this at all: two jihad terrorist groups, al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, have declared how pleased they are that students all over the United States are protesting, with so much youthful energy and arrogance, against Israel. And why not? If Israel fails to achieve its goal of destroying Hamas, it will be a major victory for the forces of jihad worldwide. Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah will be the beneficiaries as much as Hamas and all the other jihad groups everywhere.Al-Qaeda started out by praising Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 jihad massacre...
