Pro-Palestinian protestors are taking over the U.S. Capitol as hundreds demand a ceasefire between Hamas terrorists in Gaza and Israel.
The demonstration comes a day after a bombing of a hospital in Gaza killed at least 500 Palestinians.
The protestors, dressed in black shirts that read 'JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW' and 'NOT IN OUR NAME' took over the large rotunda in the Cannon House Office Building.
The demonstrators held posters with messages like 'LET GAZA LIVE' and 'MOURN THE DEAD, AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING.'
Capitol Police made 100 arrests as the group got louder and more disruptive with chants and singing.
They cut off public access to the Capitol complex as swarms of angry Palestinian advocates flooded the Cannon building.
Capitol Police said of the mass arrests: 'We warned the protestors to stop demonstrating and when they did not comply we began arresting them.'
Rep. Randy Weber posted on X a video of a sign he had hanging outside his office that said 'I stand with Israel' that had been torn down by protesters.
Some Democrats have claimed that Israel committed a war crime by intentionally targeting a hospital - a claim the Israeli Defense Force has avidly denied.
Comment:
I thought that they erected a fence around the Capital.
How did all of those protesters get inside the Capital?
