NEW YORK — Hundreds of protesters on Friday staged a sit-in at the Manhattan building that houses offices of both of New York’s U.S. senators, prompting dozens of arrests, including those of a state assembly member and a city councilor.
The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, came after both Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand voted against proposals to block a massive arms transfer to Israel — though dozens of their Democratic colleagues joined Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in his effort to block the arms sale, a significant milestone.
Jewish Voice for Peace. Not Hamas, morons.
