At his weekly press conference on Wednesday morning, House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson praised the bravery of the IDF soldiers who rescued the four hostages over the weekend saying he’s rejoicing they’re home safely and is continuing to push for the release of all hostages.
Johnson called the protestors who gathered on Monday night in front of the Nova music festival exhibit in New York City “shameful” and described the protestors who chanted “Long live the Intifada” and praise for Hezbollah in front of the White House as “aspiring Hamas members.”
“Plain and simple, it’s dangerous behavior,” Johnson said.
Terrorist supporters
He criticized police in DC for not arresting protestors who chanted “kill another Zionist now.”
At the Nova Massacre exhibit in New York City on Monday, flags of Hamas and other terrorist organizations were seen flown by anti-Israel protesters, according to footage published by organizers.
The flags of Hamas’s Izz al-Din Qassam Brigade, Hezbollah, and alleged Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine subsidiary Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as Within Our Lifetime were unfurled.
In Washington DC, banners outside the White House called for jihad and martyrdom on Saturday, footage on social media showed, while anti-Israel activists chanted, “Al Qassam, make us proud, kill another soldier now!”
