On Saturday, anti-Israel activists flocked to Washington, D.C., to protest outside of the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, harassing elites who were entering the event and chanting “F— Joe Biden.”
President Joe Biden continues to lose support among the left over his tepid support for Israel. Even though Biden has repeatedly called for aid to Gaza, demanded a ceasefire and condemned the actions of the Israeli government, this is not enough for the radical left — as many of them believe that even acknowledging Israel as a legitimate country is contributing to the so-called “genocide” of Palestinians.
Biden was even given the nickname of “Genocide Joe” by the radical anti-Israel activists within his own party.
If you wonder why media isn't reporting on genocide, this shows why. They're ignoring protests, to confidently join #GenocideJoe Biden at a fancy dinner. Maintaining access to him for their careers is more important than Palestinian lives. Shame on them. https://t.co/RXm8q7AMjK

Some activists held up large signs stating “Free Palestine” and declaring that “Biden’s legacy is genocide,” while others even threw fake blood, according to George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who attended the event on behalf of Fox News.
In other videos of the protests, activists could be heard chanting phrases like “F— Joe Biden” and “Shame on you!”

Some activists were also heard chanting “You’re not welcome here” while reporter Katie Pavlich attempted to film their demonstration.
“Why don’t you cover the genocide in f—ing Gaza?” another activist shouted at Pavlich, accusing her of being “complicit in this genocide.”

The radical activists were slammed on social media as “terrorist sympathizers,” with many people pointing out that a significant portion of these anti-Israel protesters have outright expressed support for Hamas and for the elimination of the Jewish nation.

Former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner also spoke out against the protests in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, after attending the event.
“Shame on the hundreds of Terrorist sympathizers and the Hamas lovers outside last nights #WHCD that were far from peaceful. There is no place for you or your vitriolic antisemitism in this country. Get the hell out – we don’t tolerate terrorism here,” Jenner wrote.
