Americans staged demonstrations in Washington, DC, and Boston to protest "Israel's" policies after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at the White House.

Americans Protest against ‘Israel’ Policies, Bibi’s Visit

On Wednesday afternoon, hundreds of people, including a number of Orthodox Jewish activists, held demonstrations near the White House and the Trump International Hotel in Washington to protest against Netanyahu's visit to the US, the Middle East Eye news website reported.

They also voiced opposition to the illegal settlements ‘Israel' is building on the occupied Palestinian land and to Trump's campaign promise to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to the occupied city of al-Quds/'Jerusalem'. In addition, they protested against the choice of David Friedman as US ambassador to ‘Israel.'

Many protesters were chanting "Bibi go home!" as the DC Metro Police watched them from their patrol cars.

"It's our position that it is not in America's best interest to have Friedman as an ambassador because he's biased," Kristin Szremski, the media director for American Muslims for Palestine, told Middle East Eye.

"It's not good for Americans because it will hurt our credibility with our global partners, and it's not good for Palestinians because he supports annexation, and he supports moving the embassy to Jerusalem, which will only inflame tensions in the Muslim and Arab world."

In downtown Boston, dozens of protesters first held a demonstration in front of Government Center on Wednesday afternoon but then marched towards the ‘Israeli' consulate's office in the city, according to the Boston Globe.

They also protested against the Zionist regime's illegal settlements and the possibility of the Trump administration moving the US embassy in Tel Aviv to al-Quds.

Trump has said he is "thinking seriously" about moving the country's embassy in the ‘Israeli'-occupied lands to al-Quds.

The new US president has also signaled that the United States, under his administration, would be far more tolerant of the illegal ‘Israeli' settlement construction.
