WASHINGTON — Thousands of people from cities across the country gathered outside the White House on Saturday to protest the Biden administration's policy toward the Israel-Hamas war, many dressed in keffiyehs and red clothes to symbolize what they say is a red line that Israel crossed. Hundreds of protesters held a red banner that stretched around the White House, urging President Joe Biden to change his approach to the war in Gaza.
And so we are here to say that we are the red line.” The messages from protesters ranged from pushing for an end to the war and a change in U.S. policy, to calls against a two-state solution. 'We don't want no two state, we're taking back '48,' some protesters chanted, referring to the 1948 war that led to the establishment of the state of Israel. A group of protesters also yelled, 'say it loud, say it clear, we don't want no Zionists here.
