The protest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's Washington D.C. visit occurred on July 24, 2024, beginning at 11 am.
Organizers asked participants to wear red to form a "People's Red Line Against
Genocide" around the Capitol building.
Thousands of Protesters accused Netanyahu of war crimes and crimes against
humanity, particularly highlighting his actions against Palestinians in a
broader effort to hold leaders accountable for their roles in conflict and human
rights violations. Protesters burned an effigy of Netanyahu, but the protest
remained mostly peaceful. However, police did pepper spray those who tried to
cross their barriers and also arrested 23 people for various reasons at the
event.
