WASHINGTON — Several hundred anti-Israel protesters have gathered about a half mile from the Capitol ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress.
The demonstrators chant for an intifada and declare that “resistance is justified when people are occupied.”
One of the protesters holds a sign calling on “Satanyahu” to “return to Europe.”
