Watan-Activists supporting Palestine in the United States have confirmed that an Arab tycoon from the Gulf resorted to legal action to expel protesters rallying outside the residence of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
On Friday, March 8, 2024, pro-Palestinian and Gaza supporters took to the streets to demand an end to the brutal war on the besieged Palestinian territory.
The protesters chanted in support of Palestine and Gaza as they demonstrated outside Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s residence in Virginia.
They raised banners with messages such as: “More than 30,000 killed by the United States and Israel,” “Blinken supports Israeli terrorism,” “Blinken the bloody,” “Occupy Blinken’s house and let Gaza live,” and “Complete ceasefire in Gaza now.”
A shameful stance by a Gulf tycoon against Gaza supporters
A circulated video captured by “Watan” showed the street where Blinken’s house is located and his wealthy Arab neighbor. A voice of one of the activists can be heard saying that today is the third of March 2024, and they are still camped and protesting outside the residence of “the Minister of Genocide, Antony Blinken.”
The person in the video pointed to an empty space opposite Blinken’s house, saying that one of the tents was there but was moved, not due to the protesters’ personal desire, as he said, but because of the owner of the house, whom he referred to as being from the Arab petroleum states.

He added that the owner of this house, whose name is not known, complied with the US Secretary of State Blinken’s desire to obtain a court order and evacuate them from the place.
He continued that the Arab tycoon protesting against the presence of pro-Gaza demonstrators did not wish to earn any reward or good deed on the Day of Judgment when wealth and children will be of no avail, but he responded to the Zionists’ desires.
An American sympathizes with Palestine and Gaza
He pointed out a house overlooking the new location and said its owner is American, not Muslim or Arab, and allowed the protesters to be in front of his house to expose the criminal Blinken.
He continued, hoping for victory for us and victory for the Palestinian cause and its supporters, and for the losers to be disgraced.
President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday sparked protests across the United States, with activists urging him to press for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza war and to make more efforts to curb Israeli attacks in the region.
Protesters disrupted traffic in Boston and Los Angeles. More than 50 people were arrested in Boston, according to one activist group and local media reports.
Before Biden’s speech, dozens gathered near the White House, prompting police to close a nearby road.
Ahmed Abu Zanid, executive director of the American Campaign for Palestinian Rights, said, “We are here today because enough is enough.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations defense group said the speech was “perhaps the best and perhaps the last opportunity” for Biden to announce steps to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and regain support from Arab and Palestinian Americans and war opponents who feel disappointed with his policy.
