Jewish Groups Plan Protests, Risk Arrests Over Israel’s Actions in Gaza

Jewish groups are planning protests in cities across the country, including Brooklyn, where they plan to risk mass arrest by closing down the street where US Leader Chuck Schumer resides. The protests, planned for the second night of Passover, come amid a spate of demonstrations on college campuses over Israel’s war in Gaza. Hundreds of students and others have been arrested at universities, while critics have accused some protesters of antisemitism and harassment. The White House is monitoring the situation closely and has said it will speak out against antisemitic rhetoric. New York City police arrested more than 120 protesters on New York University’s campus late on Monday.
