Protesters stage mock IDF execution of Palestinians outside White House Correspondents’ Dinner
A night traditionally reserved for presidents, journalists, and celebrities to hurl jokes at one another and mock the year’s political scandals was marred by leftist intimidation and incidents of violence.
On Saturday, Pro-Palestinian activists descended upon the White House to disrupt its annual Correspondents' Dinner, in which they targeted journalists and mocked their coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.
A night traditionally reserved for presidents, journalists, and celebrities to hurl jokes at one another and mock the year's political scandals was marred by leftist intimidation and incidents of violence.
This comes as unsanctioned anti-Israel Gaza encampments have emerged on college campuses throughout the US, many of which have yet to be successfully dismantled.
Journalists and celebrities were met with an unruly mob as they attempted to enter the White House to attend the dinner, video footage showed.
The protestors breached attendees' personal space, getting up close and yelling "shame on you" in their faces. The pro-Gaza agitators targeted attendees one by one and accused them of being complicit in the deaths of Palestinians.
Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender Fox News contributor who has been a vocal supporter of Israel, was violently harassed and intimidated by the group.
Video showed an aggressive mob of protesters surrounding Jenner outside the event.
Jenner wrote about the incident on X and urged the group of "antisemitic" protesters to "get the hell out" of the US, referring to them as "terrorist sympathizers."
"Shame on the hundreds of Terrorist sympathizers and the Hamas lovers outside last nights #WHCD that were far from peaceful. There is no place for you or your vitriolic antisemitism in this country. Get the hell out - we don’t tolerate terrorism here," said Jenner.
Additional video footage emerged showing the protesters performing a mock execution of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers.
The protesters also staged a "die-in" to honor the Palestinian journalists who have been killed while covering the Israel-Hamas war. The group claimed at least 130 journalists have been killed, however, that number has yet to be corroborated.
