Pro-Palestinian demonstrators expressed their dissatisfaction with members of the media and celebrities arriving at the Washington Hilton for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The protesters could be heard chanting “Shame on you” as guests passed by. Some protesters were seen holding Palestinian flags and signs. They also chanted “F**k Joe Biden” outside the event.
Recent anti-Israel protests have emerged on college campuses nationwide, following an initial protest at Columbia University in New York. These demonstrations have led to suspensions, arrests, and even the cancellation of graduation ceremonies. The conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began when Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, has resulted in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where famine is imminent.
Pro-Palestinian protests have escalated since the conflict began, with demonstrators demanding a ceasefire and an end to U.S. support for Israel. Arab Americans in Michigan, a state with a large Arab-American population, have vowed to withhold their support from President Joe Biden in the 2024 election due to his unwavering support for Israel.
