WASHINGTON: Thousands of protesters in the US capital on Saturday called for a ceasefire in Gaza amid the Zionist entity’s relentless bombing campaign, with some slamming President Joe Biden’s support for Washington’s top ally in the Middle East. The rally, at which demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and wore the traditional keffiyeh scarf, was the largest protest in Washington since the beginning of the Zionist-Hamas conflict on Oct 7.
"Free, free Palestine” and "End the siege on Gaza now”, the protesters shouted. Other slogans targeted the US president: "Biden, Biden you can’t hide, you signed off on genocide” and "We say no, Genocide Joe.” "It is unacceptable to allow for the loss of so many innocent lives and we cannot consider this a proportional conflict,” said 24-year-old Amanda Eisenhour of Virginia. "This is a massacre, a genocide... a stain on our history, and I cannot accept as a citizen that my taxes are funding this.”
