To which the soldiers answer: “Death to America! Death to Israel!”
The troops aligned themselves during the foot drill to form an image of the White House with the Jewish symbol on top, indicating it was being controlled by Jews or Israelis.
The White House was labeled “House of Injustice,” and the pillars on its front were labeled “Corruption,” “Racism,” “Terrorism,” “Axis of Evil,” “Hollywood,” “Dollar,” “ISIS,” “Genocide,” “War” and “Violence,” according to MEMRI.
The display then showed the building split into two, followed by its collapse.
