Watch: Thousands of Pro-Palestinian Protesters Swarm White House Fence, Secret Service Intervenes

Published

Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the White House perimeter on Saturday, forcing the Secret Service and D.C. Police to intervene.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched toward the White House in response to the U.S. and UK’s joint air strikes on Houthi militias in Yemen on Friday.

The protesters were seen shaking the fence as they yelled, “Fuck Joe Biden” and “Allahu Akbar.”

Protesters were seen shaking the fence so hard that parts of it were moved back.

Secret Service agents dressed in riot gear were seen behind the fence. 

Non-essential staff were evacuated from the White House in response to the mostly peaceful protest.

Joe Biden was not at the White House, but at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland at the time.

An individual was also spotted wearing a patch for Al Qassim Brigades, a Hamas terror group affiliate.

The protest was the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in the U.S. since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, The Guardian reported.

The protest, called a march on Washington for Gaza, was promoted as likely to be the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in the US since the 7 October attack on southern Israel by Hamas fighters emerging from Gaza, which killed almost 1,200 people and led to a massive military response from Israel, backed by the US government.

In light of protesters violently shaking the White House fence, it’s worth pointing out that the FBI and DOJ have declared from Jan. 6 that shaking a federal fence is an act of terrorism and punishable by jail time.

That’s what federal prosecutors argued during veteran Joe Biggs’s Jan. 6 case, who was subsequently sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Will the Secret Service or the D.C. Police apply that same standard in this case?

That’s doubtful given no arrests were reportedly made.
