Pro-Palestinian activists stage protest at White House
Shafaq News – Washington
Pro-Palestinian activists protested outside the White House on Wednesday, demanding an immediate halt to Israel’s war on Gaza that has killed 65,062 people and injured 165,697 since October 2023.
Demonstrators poured red liquid on the street to symbolize
victims’ blood and raised their hands stained with the same color to depict
what they called “bloodstained hands” from the conflict. Many wore white masks
and Palestinian keffiyehs, waved flags, and carried placards with English
slogans such as “Media lies, Gaza dies” and “Stop Israeli war crimes.”
At the journalists’ gate, loudspeakers broadcast nonstop sirens and emergency alerts, simulating the atmosphere of Gaza under bombardment.
