'No different from Biden': Anti-Israel protesters weigh in on possible Kamala Harris presidency
Crowds descended on the nation's capital Wednesday to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit, and many wanted to know where Vice President Kamala Harris stands on the conflict now that she is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
"She's no different from Biden on this issue, she's no different from anybody else," Nikolai from Ohio told Fox News Digital. "We're going down to the lesser evil-ism. Trump will be 100%. She'll be 99.9, you know what I mean?"
Thousands of protesters swarmed the National Mall ahead of Netanyahu's address to Congress, calling for the foreign leader's arrest and an end to U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza. Harris skipped Netanyahu's speech but is expected to meet privately with the Israeli leader at the White House.
Several people erected a large effigy of Netanyahu with devil horns, blood pouring from his mouth and a bomb clutched in his hand. Others chanted slogans like "Intifada revolution" and "from the river to the sea," danced, burned flags and waved posters with mugshot-style images of Netanyahu's face. U.S. Capitol Police made numerous arrests.
"I want Israel to be dismantled," Christine from Virginia said earlier in the day when asked what outcome she hoped to see in the Middle East. "That's about it."
Other protesters hoped for a two-state solution.
Many attendees told Fox News Digital Netanyahu is a "war criminal" who "belongs in jail" and were skeptical that Harris would be harsher on Israel if elected president.
"I really hate her," Elise from Virginia said. "I am both pro-life and pro-Palestine, and she is against both of those things. So to me, she's just into a double genocide."
