A Palestine Youth Movement group in Washington, D.C. is causing massive chaos this week as they attempted to disrupt activities surrounding the visit of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, D.C.
Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress at 2pm ET on Wednesday. He is also scheduled to hold meetings with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the top four congressional lawmakers.
The Palestine Youth Movement group calls Netanyahu a war criminal, is demanding his arrest, and claims they are going to shut down D.C. “for Palestine.”
They are touting their disruption on their Instagram page. In one Instagram post, the group proudly announced they had managed to get inside the hotel where Netanyahu was staying and released mealworms and maggots on the banquet tables.
The group wrote:
BON APPETIT!! MAGGOTS RELEASED ON THE CRIMINAL ZIONIST’S WAR TABLE!
Palestine protestors manufactured chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night so that Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service had no peace as they continue to terrorize our people. Mealworms and maggots (not talking about Netanyahu) were left on their banquet tables, and crickets were released on multiple floors of the hotel. Fire alarms were triggered for over 30 minutes on multiple floors to ensure that there will be no rest before Netanyahu and Congress disgrace themselves in front of the world for failing to achieve any of their military and political objectives. May their dreams be haunted by the death of our people and decay of their society.
There will be no peace, there will be no rest, until the war criminal’s arrest.

Eyal Yakoby, an incoming MIT student dedicated to combating Jew-Hate and anti-Americanism, also shared the video, and wrote, “The DC Palestinian Youth Movement released maggots and crickets were released throughout the Watergate Hotel where Netanyahu is staying. The protestors also pulled multiple fire alarms throughout the night. This is an utter security failure.”

Anti-Israel protesters invaded the rotunda of the Capitol building on Tuesday, causing a massive ruckus.
On Wednesday, the Palestine Youth Movement gloated that they had “wheatpasted the city and displayed a light projection on the Capitol Building.”
The message “WANTED ARREST NETANYAHU* was projected on the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC, and Netanyahu was reportedly forced to move out of the hotel Tuesday night for his own safety.
