Today, protestors blocked the street in front of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, claiming to protest Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza and U.S. strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

In response, Combat Antisemitism Movement CEO Sacha Roytman released the following statement:

“These demonstrators, in choosing to stage their protest in front of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, an area of the city with no ties to the U.S. military, Israel, Yemen, or the Palestinian people, chose to make their protest about Jews. The museum tells the story of the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis, it has nothing to do with Israel or the U.S. military. In choosing this location, instead of the White House, the Pentagon, or the Israeli Embassy, the protestors showed their true colors. This is antisemitism, plain and simple.”
