Anti-Israel protesters gathered outside Senator Chuck Schumer’s home in Brooklyn, New York, to demand an end to US support for Israel. The protest was organized by pro-Palestinian groups and hundreds of demonstrators participated. Several protesters were arrested by the NYPD. This protest is part of a larger wave of anti-Israel demonstrations that have taken place in New York City and on college campuses across the country.
The protest outside Schumer’s home began on Tuesday night and lasted for several hours. Protesters chanted slogans against Israel and carried signs calling for an end to US aid to the country. They also urged Schumer to support a resolution that would cut off all military funding to Israel.
Several protesters were arrested by the NYPD after they refused to disperse. The arrests were made without incident and no injuries were reported. The NYPD said that the protesters were charged with disorderly conduct and other minor offenses.
The protest outside Schumer’s home is part of a larger wave of anti-Israel demonstrations that have taken place in New York City and on college campuses across the country. These protests have been sparked by the recent escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians. Hundreds of students and others have been arrested at Columbia, Yale, New York University, and other schools.
The anti-Israel protests have been met with criticism from some quarters. Some critics have accused the protesters of being anti-Semitic. Others have said that the protests are counterproductive and will only serve to further polarize the debate over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Despite the criticism, the anti-Israel protests are likely to continue. The protesters are angry about the recent violence in the Middle East and they are demanding that the US government take action to stop it. It remains to be seen whether the protests will have any impact on US policy towards Israel, but they are sure to put pressure on the Biden administration to take a more critical stance towards the Israeli government.
