WATCH: American flags burned in protest of Netanyahu speech to Congress | LiveNOW from FOX

Published 2024-07-25
Protesters demonstrating against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu's visit to the US were captured on video setting fire to American flags and vandalizing statues in Washington DC.

At least one demonstrator, whose face was covered, was spotted by FOX News carrying what appeared to be the flag of the terrorist group Hamas, while others were heard shouting "Allahu Akbar."

At Union Station, agitators burned an American flag and vandalized a Christopher Columbus statue with the words "Hamas is coming." They also took down an American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag.

Netanyahu delivered an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday afternoon, his fourth overall speech to Congress, which is the most of any leader.

Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) was in attendance for Netanyahu's speech and joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the address and the fiery protests around the nation's capital.

    I'm South African and in our country, disrespecting the national flag is a crime and burning it (and replacing it) would land you in prison. Strange that the USA would allow this to happen without consequence
  • I’m speechless, TERRIFIED, and DISGUSTED. They should "protest" in their own country. Period.
  • Whoa! Now that's disrespectful! People die and fought for that flag which represents freedom. 15 yrs and a 10,000 dollar fine for burning flag!
  • @PoshCalico2.0
    Right to free speech,and terrorist sympathizing and promotion, can’t be the same thing.
  • WTH IS GOING ON?!? HOW ARE THESE TERRORISTS ALLOWED TO DO THIS?!?!?
