Protesters outside a Hanukkah ceremony held by the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. were caught on video stalking one Jewish man departing the event and threatening to “kill you all.” Video of the altercation was posted to the X social media platform by Israel War Room. A man wearing a suit is seen walking down the street as a car pulls alongside him with the driver shouting and the passenger waving a Palestinian flag. “You are killers,” the female driver screeches. “Occupiers of people’s country!” She then allegedly repeats multiple times, “We will kill you all, occupiers.”

Palestinian Protesters To Jewish Attendees – ‘We Will Kill You All’
We’re going to be very careful with this video clip for several reasons. It is posted from a clearly pro-Israel account and the context is provided completely by them. The Political Insider cannot independently verify where or when the video took place. Still, several reporters on the X platform that was formerly known as Twitter shared the clip.
The official X account of the Israeli embassy in Washington shared a post regarding the Hanukkah celebration on Tuesday.
Several online commenters were shocked and dismayed at witnessing what appeared to be a blatant death threat against a Jewish man on the streets of the nation’s capital.
“It’s disgusting that this is happening in the streets of the USA. If these people are not Americans, they should be deported,” demanded former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. “Immediately.”
William Daroff, the CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, claimed it was actually worse at the scene.
“The pro-Hamas demonstrators yelled ‘Exterminate the Jews’ at us as we were leaving @IsraelinUSA tonight,” he wrote.
Actress Patricia Heaton simply added one word.
“Nice,” she wrote in a disgusted manner.

Very Little Media Outrage
For the most part, the legacy media have been coddling violent protesters threatening Jewish people with, “We will kill you all.” Even beyond the actual words used, one imagines that a MAGA protester stalking a Palestinian citizen walking down the street from their car would garner significant media attention, and there would be no doubt such actions would immediately be linked to former President Donald Trump.
So why is the media not noting that these violent outbursts are possibly being spurred on by the pro-Palestine progressive wing of the Democrat party?
A group recently photographed alongside far-left “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) held a pro-Palestine rally within days of the Hamas terror attacks that killed hundreds in Israel. There, they celebrated the terrorists who carried out the attacks. An effort, in their own words, at “honoring our martyrs and the struggle of our people against the colonizer.” We don’t need this war in the Middle East, where Trump once negotiated peace deals on a regular basis, but we surely don’t need it on our own streets as well.
