Protesters chanted on Tuesday,"Let Gaza live","Free Palestine","Not in our name", and"Stop genocide."Estimates suggest that around 500 people participated in the sit-in, with some of them being taken into custody afterwards. It was not the first time Jewish people protested in solidarity with Palestinians. Many Jewish demonstrators have been present at pro-Palestine protests that rocked the US since the start of Israel's carnage in the blockaded enclave.
