Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters descended on President Biden’s star-studded Los Angeles campaign fundraiser on Saturday night, where he’s expected to haul in a record-setting $28 million. The demonstrators attempted to block the entrance and disrupt the ritzy event at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever,” video posted on social media shows. Several of the protesters donned shirts that read “cease fire now” and “not in our name.” [caption id="attachment_16210" align="alignnone" width="1536"] Protesters demanded a ceasefire in Gaza at Biden’s campaign fundraising event Saturday.

The cash grab beats out his previous single night record after he raised $25 million during a similar blowout event in March with Obama and former President Bill Clinton at Radio City Music Hall.
