‘Death to America!’: Michigan Protesters Hold Pro-Palestine Rally, Condemn Israel & US

Michigan protesters were heard chanting “Death to America!” during a rally marking International Al-Quds Day in support of Palestine.

The Friday rally in Dearborn shows activist Tarek Bazzi condemning America’s role in funding Israel’s atrocities against Palestine in the ongoing conflict that began after Hamas attacked the Jewish nation on Oct. 7.

“It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go, it’s the entire system that has to go,” he said after quoting Malcolm X’s assertion that America is one of the “rottenest countries” on Earth.

One X user noted that if pro-Trump voters were spouting this kind of anti-American rhetoric, there would be “wall-to-coverage” condemning them.

“If these were voters that Trump were bending over backwards to satisfy, it would be wall-to-wall coverage. But because these nutcases are Biden voters whose antisemitism Biden is *trying to appease* with some anti-Israel rhetoric, not a peep. Just amazing. You have to admire the brazenness,” she posted.

The Biden administration has been trying to court Michigan voters with renewed fervor following the state’s primary which saw over 100,000 people vote “uncommitted” rather than Biden.

Meanwhile, Trump, a prominent Israel supporter, repeatedly criticized Israel for its heavy-handed military actions in Gaza.
