Over 75,000 pro-Palestine protesters surrounded the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 8, creating a symbolic two-mile-long “red line” to call out President Joe Biden’s hypocritical rhetoric in May when he said he would withhold weapons to Israel if they launched an assault on Rafah in Gaza.

Calling for an end to the war in Gaza, the demonstrators loudly told Biden: “We are your red line!”

Nas Issa, with the Palestinian Youth Movement, said: “A red line is supposed to mean that there are consequences for the actions of rogue states like [Zionism’s]. And we’re here as a movement to say that if Biden won’t draw the red line, we will as a people.” (WTOP, June 9)

Protesters chanted popular slogans: “Globalize the Intifada!” and “There is only one solution, Intifada revolution!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”

The demonstration was organized by a loose coalition of groups that included the Palestine Youth Movement, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Code Pink, Party for Socialism and Liberation and others. Organized buses brought people to the capital from at least 13 states.
