A woman, whose faces was covered by a keffiyeh stood on top of a combined Israeli and American flag and stated: "We need to draw courage from the Palestinian resistance who came together and laid down their lives for a free Palestine […] so let's go to those war criminals and make them [expletive] pay for their crimes against humanity!
