Mass Arrests as Protesters Demand Ceasefire in Israel-Hamas Conflict

  • 7 months ago
Nearly 300 people were arrested after demonstrating inside the Cannon House Office Building in Washington D.C. demanding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the ongoing conflict. The protesters, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, began demonstrating inside the building after a rally at the U.S. Capitol. The protest aimed to call attention from lawmakers to support a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in their conflict. The Anti-Defamation League criticized the protesters' message, saying they oppose Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas. Most Jewish community organizations do not agree with the stances of groups like Jewish Voice for Peace.
