In Washington, D.C., a significant protest by supporters of Hamas, Antifa, and other far-left groups has led to the shutdown of five major roadways, including 23rd & Constitution near the State Department and an intersection near Union Station, causing widespread traffic disruptions. Protesters are demanding an end to what they describe as a genocide and the bombings in Gaza, with calls for the liberation of Palestine and slogans like 'Zionism is fascism'. The demonstrations have coincided with the National Prayer Breakfast, leading to criticism by some who claim the protests are disruptive to daily life, trade, and emergency services. Additionally, there have been protests in front of the Holocaust Museum, which have been labeled as antisemitic due to the alleged support for the Houthis, a group with such ideologies.
