‘Hamas is coming’: Anti-Israel, anti-US protests erupt in Washington, DC with Netanyahu in town

“F—k Israel” was also spray-painted at various spots in the US capital city.

Anti-Israel rallies have erupted across Washington, DC this week in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the city and speech to a joint session of the US Congress.

Outside of Union Station, rioters vandalized numerous statues and landmarks, including The Freedom Bell, which is a replica of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The phrase “Hamas is coming,” written in all capital letters, was spray-painted on a monument, along with an upside-down red triangle, a symbol used by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas when attacking Israeli targets.

“These images are deeply disturbing. The glorification of Hamas — a terrorist organization backed by the Iranian regime and holding over a hundred hostages in Gaza — is unacceptable and has no place in our country,” US Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) posted on Twitter/X on Wednesday as images of the protests began to emerge.

“F—k Israel” was also spray-painted at various spots in the US capital city.

Meanwhile, video emerged on social media showing rioters attacking police officers and burning American flags.

They also tore down the American flag in front of Union Station and replaced it with a Palestinian flag. They subsequently set the American flag on fire.

On Wednesday night, a group of Republican lawmakers — including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) — visited the spot where the American flag was burned and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

The protests, which were sponsored by more than 15 organizations, had an explicitly pro-Hamas message.

Posters handed out by the US Palestinian Community Network read, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied. #AlAqsaFlood,” referring to the name Hamas gave to its Oct. 7 attack, in which it led some 3,000 Palestinian terrorists in murdering 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages during an onslaught across southern Israel.

The poster also includes a photo of armed men on a type of military vehicle.

A number of Hamas flags were also seen at the protests. One woman, waving a Hamas flag, dressed as Abu Obeida, the alias of the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, with a red keffiyeh covering her face, a green headband, and a military jacket.

Another person, waving a black flag that has the words of the Islamic creed known as the Shahada on it — traditionally understood to be the flag under which the Muslim prophet Muhammad began his conquests — held a separate sign reading, “Allah is gathering all the Zionists for the ‘Final Solution.’” The poster included a large bomb being exploded in the middle of an Israeli flag.

Whoever vandalized the statues and landmarks which includes "The Freedom Bell", which is a replica of the LIBERTY BELL in Philadelphia, should be jailed and not see the light again.

Every person who took part in the protest should have their visas revoked and immediately deported.

I’ve heard some people say that this was peaceful protest, NOT! How much longer do you think it will be before the organizers push for violence? Look at the Middle East if you want a clue.

If this is not stopped it will increase and very soon turn violent. As a crowd grows it gets taken overboard by group think and gets out of control quickly. Mark my words. Violence is next!🇺🇸🇺🇸
