People from cities across the United States gathered outside the White House on Saturday to protest the Biden administration’s pro-Israel policies.
Protesters dressed in keffiyehs and red clothes to symbolize what they said was a red line that Israel crossed, NBC news reported.
Hundreds of demonstrators held a red banner that stretched around the White House, urging President Biden to change his approach to the war in Gaza.
“Biden, Biden you can’t hide, we are your red line,” protesters chanted.
“The intention is to draw a red line where Biden won’t draw one when it comes to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and say we as the people are drawing the red line today to say enough is enough,” said Nas Issa, a protester from the Palestinian Youth Movement. “It’s time for an arms embargo, and it’s time to end this.”
