Moment pro-Palestine protestors interrupt Jill Biden during Human Rights Campaign dinner as security rip down their ‘ceasefire now’ banners and force them to leave event

Pro-Palestinian protesters have interrupted a speech by first lady Jill Biden to demand a ceasefire from Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Dr. Biden was addressing the Human Rights Campaign’s Los Angeles 2024 dinner on Saturday night when the protest suddenly broke out.

Protesters unfurled a banner reading “Gay Jews say ceasefire now” and began loudly chanting “ceasefire now” until security intervened.

Security guards removed the banner and forced a handful of protesters to leave. It was unclear how they got in.

Dr. Biden’s supporters drowned out protest chants by shouting “four more years” in reference to Joe Biden’s election campaign.

The first lady paused her speech during the commotion, but simply continued her remarks without reference to the protest when she finished.

Dozens more protesters made a scene in front of the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Century City, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “long live Palestine.”

Israel and Hamas are actively discussing a prolonged ceasefire to free hostages and deliver aid to civilians, but have so far been unable to agree on terms.

The event presented awards to actors Jean Smart and Sterling K Brown for their work promoting LGBTQ equality.

Dr. Biden is on a fundraising tour of Southern California, which began Friday with an event at Dr. Patricia Gordon’s home in Hancock Park that raised $1 million.

Earlier Saturday he spoke at another fundraising event at Rancho Mirage, the Thunderbird Heights home of former U.S. ambassador to Spain James Costos.

“With his judgment, his experience and his relationship with leaders around the world, Joe is not only the right person for the job, he is the only person for the job,” he said at that event.

‘MAGA Republicans are fighting battles over our options, our future, and trying to drag us back down a dark and dangerous path.

‘We are the first generation in half a century that gives our daughters a country with fewer rights than us. But we will not let MAGA Republicans win this fight.”

The president has a huge financial lead over his opponent Donald Trump, but is trailing in most national polls.
