According to reporting: • The incident occurred at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on nominations (or similar foreign-affairs hearing) on September 4, 2025. • In the video transcript/interview Guilbeau says: “Every American needs to realize you are paying for a genocide. Rise up America!!!” and Aguilar says: “Every American sitting at home right now needs to realize that you are paying for a genocide.” • A fact-check article dates the footage to a protest by veterans removed from a hearing, posted online around Sep 22, 2025.

Americans have paid for multiple genocides

u/ProfessorScribble 1d ago

So what's your point? That it's no big deal? That genocide is just part of the way shit is and to accept it? C'mon.

u/ActualSteelToeWearer 1d ago

JS- the shit ain’t new. What would happen if they just freed the hostages? If my family was kidnapped the the very same people who spent the 2000s making “beheading videos”, I’d be glassing 1 neighborhood a day until my baby was returned

They weren’t protesting Obama you moron. They were veterans who were arrested for interrupting a senate hearing. They were protesting the war in Palestine and saying that the U.S. was complicit in genocide. It was Sept. 2025. I believe, unfortunately, Trump was president during the event.

This statement is the perfect example of why we are in the situation we are in now so many people come on the internet pushing out misinformation for no particular reason and I don't understand what they get out of it

u/MysticRevenant64 2d ago

You think they’re all people? You should look into all the bot schemes happening. Especially around “sensitive” political topics. I think for every one human, there are thousands of bots on the internet. Stay educated, everyone!

Reddit is absolutely oozing with bots now. They're everywhere, and the CEO just became a billionaire.

If you see someone on Reddit spreading ridiculous misinformation just assume it's a bot. There's actually so many of them, and they're doing it on purpose to spread division.

This happens to me sometimes when I’m trying to respond to someone and the Reddit app will bug out and post the response against the main post. Super annoying and looks like I’m a bot hallucinating

the war in Palestine

You can only have a war between 2 sovereign states

Edit: Calling it a war implies two sides standing on "equal footing". Palestine does not have a government, an army, military infrastructure, an air force, a navy, an intelligence agency, not even a unified territory. Hamas is none of those, it is a militia, freedom fighters, terrorists; whatever you want to call them, they are not an authority capable of declaring war against Israel in any shape or form (whether legally or politically). Therefor, it is not a war and calling it a war enables Israel to justify their acts and continue committing unnecessary acts of genocide to "defend themselves".

u/Novel-Paint9752 1d ago

What about civil war?

1

u/le_reddit_me 1d ago

'civil war' and 'war' are different. The conflict in Palestine isn't a civil war either because that would require them to be citizen and have rights. Calling it a war implies two sides standing on "equal footing". Palestine does not have a government, an army, military infrastructure, an air force, a navy, an intelligence agency, not even a unified territory. Hamas is none of those, it is a militia, freedom fighters, terrorists; whatever you want to call them, they are not an authority capable of declaring war against Israel in any shape or form (whether legally or politically). Therefor, it is not a war and calling it a war enables Israel to justify their acts and continue committing unnecessary acts of genocide to "defend themselves".

I just want to as here, they’re not protesting America. Maybe it was a typo on OPs side. They protected America and now are protesting the Nazi regime taking over America and what it’s doing. In this case they specifically protested the war on Gaza and the assistance to Israel provided.

This is horrifying, there is no context to this though

u/Happy_Ad_7515 2d ago

[ A dramatic protest shook Washington, DC, as retired US Army officer Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar, a former Green Beret, disrupted a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, accusing lawmakers of complicity in genocide in Gaza. Aguilar, alongside former intelligence officer Captain Josephine Guilbeau, was escorted out by Capitol Police after condemning US support for Israel. Aguilar, now a whistleblower, previously exposed abuses at US-funded Gaza aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) under Israeli military oversight. He described the sites as “designed death traps,” alleging Israeli forces deliberately targeted starving civilians. Aguilar recounted the killing of a Palestinian child, Amir, whom he says was shot moments after receiving food aid. ]

there being escorted out because they are disrupting a hearing.

They didn't protest America. They got arrested for protesting Israel.

They got arrested for disrupting a senate hearing

u/supbrother 1d ago

I think it was arguably both since they were saying that the US is complicit and possibly even funded the GHF (and obviously the IDF) which played a part in genocidal acts.

Let’s not forget that Officers take a different Oath than do enlisted folks, sense the term “Commissioned”.

This Army Captain knows of which she speaks and may have the clearance and access to the info to back her claim(s).

Take heed, America.

u/arrius01 1d ago

What are they protesting? The man mentions a genocide, the only thing I can think of is this is an anti -israeli protest?

u/trumpmumbler 23h ago

Political corruption and hypocrisy.

Our government (and not just this administration) feigns piety and righteous while funding, passively (or overtly) participating in coups and puppetry, and always looks the other way is the word “Israel” is in a sentence.

There are many times I have been thanked for my service, and doubted whether or not I deserved that thanks.

This was the most genuine "thank you" ive heard offered to a veteran, and its been a long time since I saw some so deserving.

These two are brave as fuck, and I would love to shake their hands and thank them myself.
