ORIGINAL STORY

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather at the National Mall on Tuesday afternoon to show support for Israel and to condemn rising antisemitism in the United States, reports NBC News. DHS has raised the DC threat level to its highest designation of SEAR 1.

The March for Israel in DC follows the October 7 genocidal attack on Israelis and the ensuing war.

The organizers of the March said they are calling for the return of the 240 hostages, and they want to highlight “Israel’s right to remain free from violence and the right of Jewish communities in North America and around the world to live free from hate.”

Security has been increased to the Department of Homeland Security’s highest designation based on crowd size, Congress members’ attendance, and perceived threat level. Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington DC, said Monday that the National Guard will coordinate with local police.

Speakers at the event include Van Jones, who has made anti-Semitic comments, actress Deborah Messing, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, members of Congress, and family members of hostages. At least one pro-Palestinian group, the Washington chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement, asked its supporters on Instagram not to engage, although they’re expected to attend.

Organizers of The March expect up to 60,000 people.

Look at all those dangerous white people gathered together. The media was hoping for trouble. I’m surprised the Federal Bureau of Intimidation didn’t send in a dozen or so agitators to start trouble. You just know cameras were trained on that black guy, waiting for a group of whites to kick his ass so they could call the whole march racist.
