(Q: reaction to Netanyahu’s visit to DC)
“It’s a disgrace. It’s a disgrace and honestly, it’s a slap in the face to not just the Arab-American community in America, but all people. All people. We shouldn’t be giving our money to another foreign government to bomb innocent people.”

“Yeah. He’s (Netanyahu) a war criminal. He should be in jail. And, you know, he could have brought peace a long time ago. He wants the war to continue. He wants to continue the ethnic cleansing in Palestine.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Prentice, demonstrator, Maryland resident:
“I think it’s important to show, like a visual representation, that the American citizens don’t support the policies of our upper class. They don’t support the policies of our elected officials. We are in a rogue kind of administration that are disconnected from the people. I think it’s important to show, come out and show the world that the American people, our policies, are not popular with the American people, if that makes sense.”

STORYLINE:
Thousands of protesters rallied near the Capitol ahead of the Netanyahu’s speech, denouncing him as a “war criminal” and calling for a cease-fire. Police tussled with demonstrators seeking to block the prime minister’s route.
Many in the swelling crowd of demonstrators outside the Capitol were protesting the killings of more than 39,000 Palestinians in the war. Others condemned Netanyahu’s inability to free Israeli and American hostages taken by Hamas and other militants during the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to bolster U.S. support for his country’s fight against Hamas and other Iran-backed armed groups in a speech to Congress Wednesday even as many Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott it and protesters amassed around the Capitol to condemn the war in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis it has created.
