Surround the White House! Join the 2 mile long “People’s Red Line” & Wear Red!
A new Israeli massacre -- We must surround the White House for Gaza this Saturday!
A horrific new massacre has been perpetrated by the Israeli military in Gaza -- dozens of Palestinians who were sheltering in a United Nations-operated school were murdered in an airstrike. The Israelis have even admitted to the airstrike, but claim to have been targeting "terrorists" -- their favorite lie to conceal the reality of genocide. Among the dead were many children.
The bombs, jets and other weaponry Israel uses to commit atrocities like this on a regular basis are provided by the United States. Joe Biden is funding a genocide with our tax dollars. His talk about protecting civilians is nothing more than the cruelest form of cynicism unless he cuts off this massive and continuous flow of arms.
The people need to rise up against the genocide! This Saturday, people will converge from all across the country to Biden's door step and surround the White House for Gaza. We will form the People's Red Line around the White House and make it clear that the people of the United States stand against the genocide, and we will not stop fighting until Palestine is free!

Join the People's Court of Justice! - 4:00 p.m.
The Ellipse (Just south of the White House)
Directly after the red line surrounds the White House at 12pm on June 8, lawyers and organizers will try Israeli and U.S. war criminals for their war crimes in Gaza!
While Biden refuses to draw a red line for Palestine, the people have. But we don’t just have the moral authority—we have a legitimate legal claim in international law. No case has been as well documented as Israel’s genocide on Gaza, and the fact becomes undeniable: Israel has always sought the complete annihilation of Palestine, and the U.S. has always supported it in its barbaric pursuits.
We will hold a trial demanding that those responsible for the genocide are brought to justice. Israeli and U.S. officials, weapons companies, corporate media—all of these institutions have played a crucial part in the murder of over 40,000 Palestinians and the destruction of Gaza. The U.S. boasts of itself as a global pillar of democracy and moral righteousness, but the people know this is a lie. It is time for them to be held responsible.
After the red line, proceed to the Ellipse, just south of the White House. We will hear the people’s indictment, with testimony from Gaza, the diaspora, and lawyers as we charge Israel and the U.S. with genocide! More information ANSWER Coalition (@answercoalition) • Instagram photos and videos
