editIntroduction
editOn July 24, 2024, a series of large-scale protests occurred in Washington, D.C., primarily centered around the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These demonstrations were organized by various pro-Palestinian groups and individuals, expressing their opposition to Israel's policies and actions, particularly those related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Much of the protesting was violent, including burning American flags, defacing the Freedom Bell, and spray painting other monuments in the area.
Protests and Demonstrations

Thousands of demonstrators, carrying Palestinian flags and banners, chanted slogans calling for an end to Israeli occupation, the recognition of Palestinian statehood, and the cessation of violence.
Key Demands

- Cessation of Violence: The protesters called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to all violence in the region.
- Accountability for War Crimes: They demanded that Israel be held accountable for alleged war crimes committed against Palestinians.
