A deep dive into the views of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza sparked horror among viewers after they denied that Hamas were terrorists and called for the expulsion of Israel’s Jewish population.
Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz joined the thousands of protesters in Washington DC on Saturday, armed with a camera and microphone, to find out how much the demonstrators knew about the conflict they were protesting.
Less than a month after Hamas slaughtered more than 1,400 Israelis near the Gaza border, the rapper was told that they were “freedom fighters” and that “the largest terrorist organization is the military of the United States of America.”
Two young women appeared surprised to learn that the massacre was the greatest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, and the video left Dillz’s followers in despair at the ignorance he exposed.
“This video contains some very scary comments,” one wrote.

Hamas is more of a “political organization” than a terrorist group, one protester told him, while another said: “The largest terrorist organization is the military of the United States of America.”
“This is what happens when you pay $200,000 for a college degree but all you do is party and scroll on TikTok or Instagram,” another added.
“Thank you for sharing this – even though it’s physically painful to watch,” a third wrote.
More than 100,000 people flocked to the country’s capital as pro-Palestinian protests erupted around the world, leading to several disturbing anti-Semitic incidents.
According to the images, graffiti reading “Death to Israel” and “Glory to our martyrs” was sprayed on buildings near the Israeli embassy shared by the embassy on X.
During the protests, the controversial chant of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was heard while crowds waved a Hezbollah flag, showing their support for the terrorist organization.
The New Jersey-based rapper, whose real name is Rami Even-Esh, has a growing fan base for raps that celebrate his Jewish heritage, including one that advocates for the return of the more than 240 people killed by the terror group during its cross-border raid arrested in the raid.
His casual demeanor and casual questions aroused little suspicion among the two young women, who identified themselves as being from Youngstown, Ohio.
When asked whether they agreed with the definition of Hamas as a terrorist, they insisted that it was a “political organization.”

“Some countries like Canada, the UK and the US recognize them as terrorist organizations,” she acknowledged, “but I think one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
“The largest terrorist organization is the United States military,” her friend chimed in.
“I think before we start pointing fingers at others, we should really look at ourselves.”
He asked them what would happen to the Israeli Jews if Palestine gained their “freedom.”
“They would use their second citizenship in the country from which they immigrated and then return,” came the frightening answer.
Asked what would happen to those who have only lived in Israel, she insisted: “They all have an origin outside the Middle East.”

And she seized on the suggestion that Jews could return to Ethiopia, Libya or Yemen, seemingly unaware that the Jewish populations of those countries have been almost completely expelled by anti-Semitic governments.
“People don’t educate themselves,” her friend complained.
“They are just following rhetoric that is completely immoral and inhumane in a family.”
“Nobody wants to educate themselves, and I think if people picked up their phones and typed things into Google, we would have a different society.”
“If only they would heed their own self-education advice,” one viewer wrote.
“How does unlimited access to information lead to unlimited ignorance?” asked another.
“These two girls should live in Yemen to set an example,” a third added.
Protesters at the demonstration stretched a banner over the White House fence that read “Stop Attacks on Gaza,” prompting the Secret Service to tear down the sign, sparking anger from the crowd.
Chants of “Allahu Akbar” erupted loudly as the protest marched through the city, while red handprints were later seen on walls near the presidential residence.
Before reaching the White House, a huge crowd of protesters filled the streets of D.C. on a route that passed numerous landmarks near the Capitol.
Images after the protesters marched through showed a number of historic statues, including the desecration of the statue of American Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette with graffiti and Palestinian flags.
“Biden, we will remember in November,” read one of the signs on the sculpture.
Young people are on the front lines of America’s culture war over the Gaza conflict, and Israeli President Isaac Herzog sent a letter Tuesday to the presidents of 700 U.S. universities and colleges urging action against rising anti-Semitism on their campuses demands.
“Every university can and should lead the fight against the scourge of anti-Semitism,” Herzog wrote in his open letter.
A survey of about 1,400 U.S. adults for dailymail.com this week found that most Americans agree with Herzog that U.S. schools are not doing enough.
