Numerous demonstrators advocating for Palestine — including some who openly endorse Hamas and other extremist organizations — gathered around the White House last Saturday, damaging a statue and attacking a U.S. Park Police officer who intervened to safeguard it.
The demonstration coincided with Israel’s successful rescue of four hostages from Hamas during a raid in Gaza on the same day.
