US EditionD.C. “Friendsgiving” Protest Depicts Israeli Leaders Feasting on Gaza, Draws Antisemitism Criticism
Jewish groups denounced a protest at Union Station depicting U.S. and Israeli leaders feasting on Palestinian children’s blood as reviving a centuries-old antisemitic blood libel trope.
- On Thursday at Union Station, Washington, D.C., a guerrilla "Friendsgiving" protest with five besuited performers portraying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former President Joe Biden, and Antony Blinken was filmed inside and outside the station.
- Organizers credited on social media say Hazami Barada and Atefeh Rokhvand were behind the idea, and supporters promoted it online with Dear White Staffers praised by Instagram posts.
- A printed menu at the table listed 'Starter: Gaza children's limbs' and the display included bloodied doll limbs, glasses of red liquid, Israeli flags used as napkins, and a 'Mileikowsky' place card at Netanyahu's seat.
- Jewish organizations responded that the American Jewish Committee said the stunt revived one of the oldest antisemitic tropes, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington in a late Thursday statement called it 'sickening' and urged U.S. civic leaders and authorities to condemn it.
- The stunt's online spread shows rapid sharing on social media by supporters and critics, while activists signaled more actions could follow, as Jews warn the blood libel has fueled violence historically.
