The protesters poured red liquid onto the street, saying it symbolised the blood of those killed in Gaza.

Gaza war protesters took to the streets outside of the White House in Washington DC, where President Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.

Chanting “Arrest Netanyahu,” the protestors brought in an effigy of the Israeli leader wearing an orange jumpsuit with blood on its hands.

A label on the jumpsuit read: “Wanted for crimes against humanity.”

Protesters poured red liquid from jugs onto the street across from nearby Lafayette Park. A speaker said it “symbolised the blood of the Palestinians.” Holding up blood smeared hands, they yelled: “Shame!” and chanted: “You are stealing Gaza’s blood!”

A small number of counter-protesters wore Israeli flags around their shoulders.
