While America’s largest pro-Israel lobby kicked off its annual conference on Sunday, Palestinian protesters and anti-Zionist groups marched against what they regarded as a “criminal lobby that controls American foreign affairs.” The American Israel Public Affairs Committee launched its yearly policy conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, often attended by high-ranking public officials including sitting senators and former presidents. Donald Trump’s decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, coupled with detentions of activists including 17-year old Ahed Tamimi, contributed to what was already widespread discontent and anger in the Palestinian community over the status quo.

Protesters faced a police presence outside the main entrance to AIPAC’s conference, sealed off to the public by barriers. CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin joined others to hoist a banner proclaiming “free Palestine” to conference-goers, who at times gathered inside the entrance to snap photos on their phones. Meriem Abou-Ghazaleh, a young Syrian-Palestinian activist who protested the siege of Aleppo last year, led the crowd in chants supporting the "boycott, divestment, and sanctions" movement, an emerging international effort to boycott Israel over its Palestine policy. “America and Israel are butt buddies, they’re puppets,” she later told News2share, “America is a puppet of Israel - they know that without Israel, they are nothing.” CODEPINK and 19 other organizations were recently banned from entering Israel over their support for BDS. AIPAC's agenda this year involves supporting federal legislation that would criminalize involvement in the boycott, an act the ACLU warns would violate free speech.
