More than 100 people protesting Israel's retaliation for the Hamas terror attack were arrested Wednesday at the Cannon Office Building across from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, according to WUSA9 reporter Adam Longo.
Jointly organized by Jewish-led anti-occupation groups Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow, participants reportedly were demanding that congressional lawmakers pass a resolution calling for the United States to broker a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, Truthout reported.
Citing U.S. Capitol Police, Fox 5 DC reporter Kenneth Moton reported on X that protesters "will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House office building. Three people have been charged with assaulting a police officer." Longo reported that when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared on the balcony of the Cannon Office Building, the crowd booed her and shouted, "Shame, shame shame!"
