Hundreds of pro-Hamas agitators gathered near Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. At least one agitator was spotted with a Hamas flag. Others ripped American flags down, burning them on the ground. A large effigy of Benjamin Netanyahu was burned.
A Jewish man, who expressed offense at the phrase “Hamas is coming” after he saw it tagged on a Christopher Columbus statue outside of Union Station that was vandalized on Wednesday, was harassed and followed. The man told the demonstrators he was offended by their language, causing some of them to start shouting at him and calling him Hitler. It wasn’t clear if they had been the ones to write “Hamas is coming” on the statue.
“Enough!” the man said to the agitator, adding “We don’t back down from you and we don’t back down from f------ terrorists!” The situation quickly escalated into a screaming match with the man and one of the agitators in each other’s faces. Finally, the man and a woman who had joined him were let inside a locked building by a security guard with the agitators trying to follow. One of the protesters told Fox News that they decided to harass him because he was a “White gentleman.
