Rabbis, Israeli-Americans and descendants of Holocaust survivors were among the protesters on Capitol Hill calling on U.S. political leaders to stop their military aid of Israel, as the war on Gaza continues to claim the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children."We are arresting a group that is illegally demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda. Demonstrations are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings.
In a historic ruling the International Court of Justice has found multiple and serious international law violations by Israel towards Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including, for the first time, finding Israel responsible for apartheid," said Tirana Hassan, Human Rights Watch Executive Director.
