Activism Uncensored: Thousands surround White House with two-mile long "red line" banner for Palestine

A major demonstration with multiple charged storylines, all captured by News2Share

Ford Fischer of News2Share, with additional help from Nick Mason, extensively documented the “Red Line” protest outside the White House last weekend. Ford and his team show the action from beginning to the after-dark end, when protesters were mostly gone and Park Police cleaned out remaining tents.

Ford as usual did a terrific job of capturing eyebrow-raising scenes. The sheer size of the event was notable and an effective visual for underscoring the Biden adminisration’s changing message on a “red line” in Rafah. Also notable however: “Stand With Hamas” and “Fags 4 Hamas” signs, a “people’s trial,” and a bizarre confrontation with young National Review reporter Thomas McKenna, who is not Jewish but was told, “L’chaim!” and “Mazel Tov!” Also, I can’t remember the last time a cameraperson captured the whole stream of a mace discharge.

As a reminder, the “Activism Uncensored” feature is designed to present public demonstrations at length, as opposed to in five- or ten-second video snippets bathed in commentary, so audiences may evaluate events on their own. Opinions expressed on camera are those of demonstrators and/or officials.
