As US Congress cheered for Netanyahu, protesters gathered to denounce him​

Thousands rally in Washington, DC, to call for end to Gaza war and rebuke the Israeli prime minister as a ‘war criminal’.

Washington, DC – Hours before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the United States Capitol to deliver a speech to Congress, a woman with a blue scarf concealing her face sat alone on a park bench and waved a Palestinian flag near Union Station in Washington, DC.

“We will fight for freedom wherever it’s being denied all over the world. We connect with the Palestinians because we are freedom fighters here in America,” the lone protester, who asked to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday.

She was one of the thousands of protesters who would ultimately gather across the capital city to demonstrate against the Israeli prime minister’s speech.

Viceroy Bibi CRITICIZES Saw Hei Ah Fok PROTESTERS​

Netanyahu, while addressing Congress, said he had a message for the protesters.

"When the tyrants of Tehran who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots," he said, using a Cold War-era term for people who are manipulated for a political agenda.

Protesters deny such charges and say their demonstrations are a response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza where nearly the entire 2.3 million population have been displaced.

A stage at the protest site near the Capitol was decked with banners, including one that declared the Israeli leader a "Wanted War Criminal" in reference to an arrest warrant sought by International Criminal Court prosecutors. Netanyahu denies war crimes allegations.

Nearby, demonstrators placed nearly 30 human-size cardboard coffins wrapped in Palestinian flags. Traffic was barred from several roads near the Capitol.

"I want all aid (to) be suspended to Israel due to its actions in Gaza," said Bradley Cullinan, who said he traveled to the area from Columbus, Ohio, 400 miles (640 km) away.

Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon took to the stage and condemned the death toll in Gaza. "No one is free until everyone is free," Sarandon said.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers skipped Netanyahu's speech to Congress, expressing dismay over the deaths and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza where nearly all of its 2.3 million people have been displaced.

Members of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group carried Palestinian flags and signs reading "Free Palestine" and "Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism," while a group of younger protesters danced to Arabic music and carried large banners reading "Stop Arming Israel" and "Stop War Crimes in Gaza."

ICC prosecutors say there are reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Al-Masri and Ismail Haniyeh, bear criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Pro-Palestinian groups and university students have for months protested in the U.S. against Israel's offensive in Gaza, a Hamas-governed enclave where health authorities say nearly 40,000 Palestinians have been killed.

Israel's military assault followed an Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, whose militants surged into Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages, according to Israeli figures.

Despite mediation efforts by the United States, Qatar and Egypt; Israel and Hamas have yet to forge a permanent ceasefire.

Biden, who has repeatedly faced pro-Palestinian protests at his public events this year, often appears conciliatory toward those interrupting him.

“I understand the passion,” he said after he was repeatedly interrupted during a campaign event at a South Carolina church earlier this year.

In his address to Congress, Netanyahu referenced a recent statement from US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines that Iran is attempting to covertly stoke protests in the US related to the conflict in Gaza.

In her statement, Haines said, however, that she wanted “to be clear that I know Americans who participate in protests are, in good faith, expressing their views on the conflict in Gaza,” adding that “this intelligence does not indicate otherwise.”

“I have a message for these protesters: When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising, promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran’s useful idiots,” Netanyahu said.

Markets Tear Up the Popular Trades That Reached ‘Stupid Levels’​

The assumptions that have driven this year’s global financial markets are being rapidly rethought.

In bond and currency markets, investors are racing to redeploy money amid mounting doubt over the outlook for the US economy, which has led to speculation that the Federal Reserve may need to cut interest rates faster or deeper than planned.

Helping to drive the shift: A weakening American consumer, which is showing up in a rash of disappointing corporate earnings.
