At least 11 anti-Israel protesters have their cases dropped in DC
SUMMARY
At least 11 anti-Israel protesters had their misdemeanor charges dropped in Washington, D.C., one day after vandalizing monuments with terrorist graffiti, violently attacking officers and burning an American flag during a 'protest' against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress. The charges included crossing police lines and disorderly conduct. Additionally, six protesters facing more serious charges, such as assault on a police officer and making threats, were released pending court hearings. Despite the vandalism and violent confrontations, the U.S. attorney’s office stated that the investigation is ongoing. The protests drew comparisons to the January 6 Capitol riot, with criticism over perceived discrepancies in how different protest groups are treated by authorities.
