This old faggot can’t go anywhere without getting swarmed by people demanding he stop slaughtering children.
The Democrat National Convention is going to be completely engulfed in protest. They’re probably going to have to do a many-blocks-wide security barrier, and even then people will lie to get inside of it and then protest, so there’s going to be all of this footage of cops beating the shit out of young people who disagree with murdering children.
Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters descended on President Biden’s star-studded Los Angeles campaign fundraiser on Saturday night, where he’s expected to haul in a record-setting $28 million.
The demonstrators attempted to block the entrance and disrupt the ritzy event at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA.
Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever,” video posted on social media shows. Several of the protesters donned shirts that read “cease fire now” and “not in our name.”

“Biden Biden you’re a liar, we demand a ceasefire,” others said, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
The crowd reportedly swelled as guests filed in for the fundraiser, which featured President Barack Obama, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Jason Bateman, Jack Black, Kathryn Hahn, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and more.
Dozens of police in riot gear formed a line to keep the protesters away from the theater.
These protests aren’t ending any time soon.
I don’t think they’ll end until Israel stops.
However, they’re no doubt betting that if Israel invades Lebanon, people will see soldiers shooting at other soldiers, instead of nothing but dead and mutilated children, and that will tamp down some of the outrage.
