Pro-Palestinian protesters took the proverbial mask off in California last week, and what was revealed wasn't pretty.
The New York Post reported that the protesters spray-painted "Free Gaza" and "Intifada" on a wall outside the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where nearly 90,000 veterans of World War I through the Vietnam War are buried.
"Intifada" refers to violent uprisings against Israel in the 1980s and early 2000s.
Protesters also chanted, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and accused President Joe Biden of enabling "genocide," according to the Post.
It is not known whether any arrests have been made for the vandalism, but the cemetery indicated in a statement on Facebook that the incident is under investigation by law enforcement.
The cemetery also shared photos of the anti-Israel messages being cleaned off the wall a few days later.
Several public officials condemned the protesters' actions.
Department of Veterans Affairs spokesman Terrence Hayes told Fox News that "VA national cemeteries are where our nation’s heroes are laid to rest, and any act of vandalism is unacceptable."
