A Fox News team saw numerous signs featuring Netanyahu’s face and describing him as a “wanted war criminal.”
Other slogans on the signs include “Stop the genocide,” “Stop arms sales to Israel” and “End all US aid.”
The crowd chanted anti-Semitic slogans such as “Liberate Palestine” and “From the river to the sea…” calling for the annihilation of the state of Israel.
