Protesters set off smoke bombs outside AIPAC head’s home, call him ‘baby killer’
On Thanksgiving, pro-Palestinian activists place mock babies, spill red paint in front yard of Michael Tuchin’s Los Angeles residence, chant ‘fuck your holiday’
US pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Thursday held a loud protest outside a vacation home of AIPAC president Michael Tuchin in Los Angeles, setting off smoke bombs and branding him a “baby killer.”
Marking Thanksgiving, they also placed red-paint-covered bunches of cloth, symbolizing dead babies, spilled red paint outside the home, signifying blood, and chanted “Fuck your holiday” at the head of the US’s largest pro-Israel lobby.
The People’s City Council — Los Angeles, which describes itself as an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist group, organized the rally, calling it “a holiday wake-up call” in a post on X.
“AIPAC spends tens of millions to control pro-genocide congress members. Fuck your holiday baby killer!” it wrote.
The StopAntisemitism organization called the rally “horrifying.”
“What’s next? The burning of synagogues and schools like in 1939 Germany?” it posted on X.

Pro-Israel and Jewish communal organizations have been targeted by protests and acts of vandalism since the war erupted on October 7, when thousands of Hamas terrorists stormed into southern Israel, brutally massacring at least 1,200 people, mostly civilians in their homes and at a music festival, and seizing some 240 hostages.
RIGHT NOW: people are out in front of @AIPAC president Michael Tuchin’s house in Los Angeles for a holiday wake up call!

Israel then launched an offensive aimed at eliminating Hamas’s military infrastructure and ability to govern Gaza.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has said that more than 14,500 people have been killed since October 7, most of them civilians. However, the numbers cannot be verified, and are believed to include Hamas terrorists as well as civilians killed by misfired Palestinian rockets.
