00:00Israel is a terrorist state!

00:05Anti-war demonstrators gathered outside the White House on Wednesday

00:09to condemn the latest escalation in hostilities between Iran and Israel,

00:14urging an end to U.S. and Israeli military actions in the Middle East.

00:19No U.S. war on Iran!

00:23Waving Palestinian and Iranian flags, the protesters called for restraint

00:27amid fears of a wider regional conflict.

00:30Tensions briefly flared when counter-protesters arrived,

00:33waving Israeli flags, prompting police to intervene

00:36as both sides confronted each other near the White House fence.

00:40Today, we convene because the terror of the Zionist entity

00:44has spread beyond the borders of the Palestinian homeland.

00:48Shame!

00:50Shame!

00:52And the Zionist entity has put the people of Iran

00:56under its sights to spread its terror beyond the Palestinian homeland once again.

01:02Israel, the terror of the Middle East, is the state with nukes.

01:07Israel is the terror of the Middle East.

01:10They, unprovoked, attacked the state of Iran,

01:13putting people in harm's way for weapons that do not exist.

01:18Shame!

01:19Shame!

01:21I don't want war in Iran, actually.

01:23It's my country.

01:24I don't want it to be destroyed.

01:26Because, like, Benjamin Netanyahu is thinking we are having the nuclear weapon.

01:31It's, like, no fact based on that.

01:34He's just bombing in Iran without any facts.

01:37The protest comes as international concern mounts over the escalating missile exchanges between the two countries.

01:44Iran has reported at least 224 deaths, mostly civilians, from Israeli strikes.

01:51Israel, in turn, claims around 400 missiles have been launched from Iran since June 13th, killing 24 civilians.

01:59Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has kept observers guessing over whether the United States will provide military support to Israel,

02:05fueling speculation over America's role in the ongoing conflict.
