During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on May 21, 2024, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters. The demonstrators accused Blinken of being a 'war criminal' and 'the butcher of Gaza,' citing the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians, including 35,647 according to local health authorities, in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Protesters shouted phrases such as 'Genocide is your legacy' and 'The blood of 40,000 Palestinians is on your hands.' Specific references were made to seven mass graves and the death of six-year-old Hind Rajab. Capitol Police removed several activists, some of whom held signs with messages like 'books, not bombs' and 'food, not F-355.' Blinken was testifying about the Biden administration's foreign affairs budget proposal.
Protester at end of Blinken hearing: We don't want to be camped outside your house, Tony. We want to go home. Tony, why are you supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza? Why are you providing weapons? Which Israel? To create mass graves. Israel has killed 50,000 children playing…
