Lefty mob floods U.S. Capitol ahead of planned ''Day of Temper Tantrum Rage'' against Netanyahu's visit to Congress
2024-07-24
[X] Sounds like an insurrection, dunnit?
Courtesy of Skidmark, Breitbart adds:
A group of anti-Israel protesters filled the rotunda inside the Cannon House Office Building on Tuesday to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s forthcoming speech to Congress.

The group, Jewish Voice for Peace,
…that particular anti-Zionist Jew-hating tentacle of the anarcho-communist Black Bloc that identifies as having a Jewish voice rather than actually being Jewish, even if a few of them legitimately trained as rabbis before finding their calling in the violent overthrow of civilization. They are primarily funded by the Tides Foundation, which receives a substantial amount of funding from the Soros Open Society Foundations, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, the Rockefeller Fund, etc….
has a record of rhetorical support for anti-Israel terror. It has invaded Capitol office buildings before.
Invasions go beyond mere rhetorical support…
Large protests are expected at the Capitol for Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.

NBC News reported on preparations for large protests:

Forklift diesel engine hums were drowned out by deafening rings of steel barricades clanking together as the sun set over Washington, D.C., on Monday. Despite an unexpected heavy rainstorm, laborers wearing bright yellow reflective safety vests worked in a well-orchestrated rhythm to unload flatbed trucks carrying thousands of metal gates.

The barriers are intended to control thousands on Wednesday in what is anticipated to be an intense series of anti-Israel protests on Capitol Hill.
and this is not a known threat how
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) told The National Desk (TND) Tuesday morning that they have been working urgently to ensure they are prepared for a likely unprecedented number of demonstrators.

Reuters reported:

Police expect a “large number of demonstrators” and were making additional security arrangements but said there were no known threats.
I hope they do better than the USSS, for which, once, there was no higher standard.
A coalition of groups is expected to participate in the protests, among them ANSWER
…they used to call themselves International ANSWER, back when they were shouting about the second Iraq war, but I suppose that sounded too much like COMINTERN…
(an acronym for “Act Now to Stop War and End Racism”), women-led peace and human rights group Code Pink
... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost...
…Jodie Evans’ husband is Sri Lankan-American tech centimillionaire (or perhaps multi-billionaire by now) Neville Roy Singham, He’s been a Maoist Black Nationalist from childhood— which is some trick considering he is half Asian and half white — and one of his current projects is The People’s Forum, which has co-organized a large number of post 10/7 pro-Hamas protests …
Palestinian groups such as Palestinian American Community Center and Jewish groups including Jewish Voice for Peace.

CodePink told Reuters organizers had arranged buses for human rights advocates to come to Washington from numerous states across the country.

Protesters will be joined by congressional staffers, including staffers for Democrats who have been rallying and signing petitions to oppose Israel’s war of self-defense in Gaza since the Hamas terror attacks of October 7.

The US Capitol Police later advised that "No flags under our protection have been removed or vandalized. Our officers will enforce the law if anyone attempts to remove a flag in USCP jurisdiction. To clear up inaccurate reporting."
