Faith-based protesters gather in DC to 'resist' Netanyahu during his Trump meeting

Dozens of faith-based protesters on Tuesday (July 28) demonstrated against the 'architect of war' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with US President Trump at the White House. Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss with the Neturei Karta International, an Orthodox Jewish Organization, said he was protesting in DC because it was so 'un-Jewish' to oppress and murder others. Rabbi Weiss said he also came to DC to show solidarity for the people of Palestine, Lebanon and Iran. Eli McCarthy with the Franciscan Action Network, a Christian advocacy organization, said he was protesting to 'resist the architect of war, Benjamin Netanyahu."

00:23religion as a kajal to murder to occupy to oppress a people in the name of this
00:38holy religion of Judaism this is a Nakba this is a tragedy beyond words this is a
00:48direct rebellion against God and the Jewish religion and that is what has
00:54brought us out here to the streets of Washington to speak up
01:02because the ones who are true to the religion declare that we will never
01:08accept any form of a Jewish state and certainly not a so-called Jewish state
01:15that comes by oppressing killing genocide murdering atrocities torturing this is
01:24so un-Jewish so we're here to cry to show our hurt our our sympathy our solidarity
01:31with the people of Lebanon and Palestine and Iran and all the lands that design
01:36us are brutally attacking and vilifying calling them anti-semitic it is bogus it
01:43is vile
01:44save that home
01:47but Palestine you are not alone
01:53Judaism is a man, Zion is a no
01:56the state of Israel must go
02:005, 6, 7, 8, the L is not a Jewish chain
02:06anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism
02:11anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism

02:23netan, you eat shame, shame, you don't speak in the Jewish name
02:29Since reign on the righteous, he is on the unrighteous.
02:40Today we had a multi-faith, non-violent witness of Jewish and Christian and Muslim groups here in D.C.
02:47We're here to resist the architect of war, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in D.C. meeting with our president once
02:55again.
03:00As well as the settler violence that's going on in the West Bank and causing not just harassment, but now
03:07killing and taking land at a rapid pace.
03:09We need that to stop and our congress members to speak out on it.
03:14And the National Defense Authorization Act is being voted on this week by the Senate.
03:18We call them to reject the $1.5 trillion, and particularly the provision that integrates the Israel and U.S.
03:26military.
03:27We think that is very dangerous, and we want more creative peace building, not more war making.
03:37So, you know, we're trying to keep the pressure on our president as a democracy to do what's consistent with
03:44human dignity and human rights and safety for all people.
04:03We'll see you then.
