Anti-Israel protesters bragged about “manufacturing chaos” on Wednesday by releasing bugs and pulling fire alarms at the Watergate Hotel, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is staying.

The Washington, D.C., chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement took credit for the disruptions on their Instagram account, saying they wanted to make sure Netanyahu and his team had “no peace.”

The Watergate boosted security ahead of Netanyahu’s arrival, installing temporary fences to keep protesters away. A spokeswoman for the Watergate confirmed to The Daily Wire that the hotel was “aware of the social media video circulating on multiple platforms” and “took the necessary steps to ensure the property has been sanitized.” The spokeswoman added that the Watergate was “cooperating fully with authorities,” and could not offer further details on an open case.

“BON APPETIT!! MAGGOTS RELEASED ON THE CRIMINAL ZIONIST’S WAR TABLE!” the group posted. “Palestine protestors manufactured chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night so that Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service had no peace as they continue to terrorize our people [sic].”

The group stated they left mealworms and maggots on the banquet tables Netanyahu has been using to host meetings with community leaders, including a group of Christians who met with the prime minister on Tuesday.

Michal Cotler-Wunsh, special envoy for combating anti-Semitism for Israel, says the activists’ claim to have released maggots was “not random,” but an allusion to classic anti-Semitic trops.

“By using maggots—a clear example of ‘classic’ anti-Semitism made famous by Hitler and the Nazis, PYM has clearly demonstrated how modern day anti-Semitism intersects with the past,” Cotler-Wunsh told The Daily Wire.

The activists said they also released crickets on “multiple floors” of the hotel and pulled fire alarms overnight.

“Fire alarms were triggered for over 30 minutes on multiple floors to ensure that there will be no rest before Netanyahu and Congress disgrace themselves in front of the world for failing to achieve any of their military and political objectives,” the group wrote. “May their dreams be haunted by the death of our people and decay of their society.”

“There will be no peace, there will be no rest, until the war criminal’s arrest,” the group added.

On the group’s Telegram, they claimed they dyed multiple fountains near the U.S. Capitol red. Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress Wednesday afternoon.

An anti-Israel group in DC is taking credit for dyeing fountains near the Capitol red last night.

There has been a protester presence outside the hotel including a man wearing a keffiyeh threatening to kill and burn Jews and “take out” Netanayahu’s neck.

Around 200 protesters were arrested yesterday after making a ruckus inside the Capitol’s Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday, causing staff and interns to barricade themselves in their offices, Fox News reported.
