Pro-Palestinian protestors stretched a reportedly 2-mile long banner, dubbed the “People’s Red Line,” outside the White House on Saturday, as a part of a protest against the Biden Administration’s response to the war in Gaza.

The protest, which brought out a reported 75,000 people, encircled the White House, according to the ANSWER coalition, one of the protest’s organizers.

The banner, which lists every Palestinian killed since Oct. 7, is held by thousands of protestors, some of whom traveled for 16 hours by bus to D.C. to attend the protest.

6. Are they pissed about the hostages being freed?

7. Hamas has said . . .

. .. that they will kill more hostages in retaliation for the hostages being freed.

[Beastly Boy]

8. Curiously, they didn't say how many more hostages they will kill in retaliation for no hostages being freed.

I strongly suspect the latter will be greater by exactly the number of hostages who had been freed.
