Enraged anti-Israel rioters in Washington DC pulled down an American flag flying outside Union Station and began setting it on fire in public, but police managed to retrieve some of the flag.

Nevertheless, as the police withdrew, pro-Palestinian protesters and rioters began hoisting Palestinian flags on poles.

Eventually, the agitators left their mark on Washington’s train station, just a few blocks from where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) spoke to Congress.

The rioters continued to chant “Free Palestine” and destroyed numerous monuments, with many of them writing “Free Gaza” on the ground and on nearby buildings, and climbing flagpoles to wave Palestinian flags.

A papier-mâché sculpture of Netanyahu was also set on fire outside the station, as protesters yelled abuse at nearby police officers.

“You are men, don’t act like women,” one rioter was filmed telling the security guard.

A nearby, unnamed good Samaritan was seen on video trying to save one of the burning US flags, but he was chased by pro-Palestinian rioters yelling “Get him!” before fleeing the violent crowd.

In another instance, protesters were seen chanting “Allah is great” and “Fuck America” ​​while spraying lighter fluid on an American flag.

Organizers of the protests and riots included groups such as Answer Coalition and Code Pink, as well as numerous megaphone-wielding speakers from other organisations, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
