A pro-Palestinian protester screamed “I am Hamas!” during a demonstration outside the White House on Saturday as she confronted members of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) as they interviewed both pro- and anti-Israel activists.
The video, filmed by Jasmyn Jordan of YAF, showed an unhinged protester, wearing a kaffiyeh, shouting that Hamas had not raped Israelis and that Israeli soldiers had, in fact, raped Palestinians. (Both claims are false).
As Breitbart News reported:
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters — some openly supporting Hamas and other terror groups — surrounded the White House on Saturday, vandalizing a statue and assaulting a U.S. Park Police officer who tried to protect it.
The protest happened on the day Israel successfully rescued four hostages from Hamas’s clutches in a raid in Gaza.
There were apparently no arrests.
Some pro-Palestinian demonstrators have openly supported Hamas and Hezbollah — another Iran-backed terror group — since the early days of the war.
Just days after the Hamas terror attack of October 7, pro-Palestinian demonstrators at a communal “free Palestine” rally in Dearborn, Michigan, chanted pro-terror slogans and booed a speaker who used the word “peace” offstage.
