On July 24th, 2024, thousands of Americans gathered around the Capitol building in Washington, DC to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.

These protests were widely covered by American media and ended with a group of protestors getting pepper sprayed and tear gassed shortly before they burned an American flag and vandalized public property.

But before any of that happened, I traveled down to the protests to find out what kind of people made up the protest movement. I spoke with a wide range of protestors, including an avowed socialist, rabbi, Islamist, anti-Islamist, moderate Muslim proselytizer, ex-evangelical Christian, doctor, and even a Holocaust survivor.
