Washington DC Freedom Bell, replica of Philadelphia Liberty Bell, desecrated during Netanyahu visit

Desecrating graffiti was applied by protesters to the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain and the Freedom Bell late Wednesday afternoon, July 24, 2024. The criminal damage was associated with protest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to address Congress.

The Freedom Bell, located outside Union Station in Washington DC, is a replica of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, located across the street from Independence Hall in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Historical Park.
