Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted “Free Palestine!” ” and held signs, urging Biden to end his support for Israel.

Although the protest began peacefully, hostile demonstrators quickly began attacking the park rangers, shouting “F-you, fascist!” and “piggy, piggy, oink, oink!”

More peaceful protesters began to form a human chain around the White House, which they called the “people's red line,” a reference to Biden saying Israel had not crossed his “red line” in the war.
