A pesar de enfrentarse a múltiples cuerpos de policía, llegados desde lugares tan lejanos como Nueva York, y a un Capitolio rodeado de pesadas vallas metálicas para proteger a un criminal de guerra, decenas de miles de decididos partidarios del pueblo palestino, procedentes de todo Estados Unidos, acudieron para decir no a la visita del genocida presidente israelí Benjamin Netanyahu, que estaba siendo recibido con los brazos abiertos por los especuladores de la guerra y la gran mayoría de los representantes demócratas y republicanos en el Congreso.
