Pro-Palestinian protesters invade the Capitol: More than 300 demonstrators are arrested after demanding Israeli ceasefire by staging a sit-down in a rotunda in the Congress complex

Pro-Palestinian protestors are taking over the U.S. Capitol as hundreds demand a ceasefire between Hamas terrorists in Gaza and Israel.

The demonstration comes a day after a bombing of a hospital in Gaza killed hundreds of Palestinians.

The protestors, dressed in black shirts that read 'JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW' and 'NOT IN OUR NAME' took over the large rotunda in the Cannon House Office Building.

The demonstrators held posters with messages like 'LET GAZA LIVE' and 'MOURN THE DEAD, AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING.'

Capitol Police made 300 arrests as the group got louder and more disruptive with chants and singing.

They cut off public access to the Capitol complex as swarms of angry Palestinian advocates flooded the Cannon building.

Capitol Police said of the mass arrests: 'We warned the protestors to stop demonstrating and when they did not comply we began arresting them.'

Rep. Randy Weber posted on X a video of a sign he had hanging outside his office that said 'I stand with Israel' that had been torn down by protesters.

Some Democrats have claimed that Israel committed a war crime by intentionally targeting a hospital - a claim the Israeli Defense Force has avidly denied.

The Defense Department said they believed it was 'highly improbable' Israeli forces were behind the explosion that killed hundreds of people at the Gaza hospital - and President Biden suggested the same during a trip to Israel.

Hundreds of protesters - all wearing the same shirt.
Ya, this is organic.
Just like Ukraine flags instantaneously materialized out of everyone’s closet around the world last year.

The Insurrectionist NEXT DOOR

By Alexandra Pelosi is a one hour and 16 minute documentary on J6 of some of the people who stormed the US Capitol.

Is this all her filming or excerpts from the not yet released J6 security videos?

I have no desire to watch. Curious if any FReepers can review it if you've viewed it.

”JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW””

I still don’t know if the people protesting are Jewish protesting Israel while other reports are saying they are Palestinian protests!

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

A report I saw on faux biz or cnbc described the crowd circled up in the rotunda as pro jewish

FUNDED

(sarcasm)
Are funded protests credible?
Do funded protests have an unfair political advantage over ones that aren’t?
Should there be protest finance laws like campaign finance laws?
It’s only fair and equitable and level the playing field, man.
(sarcasm)

Our DOJ today is a political organ no different than the STASI was for the SED.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Unity_Party_of_Germany

No, these folks won’t have to confront this sort of persecution since they pose no threat to Biden.

J6 was about 4 things:

1. Eliminate the key leaders of organizations that pose a threat to Biden and the Democrat rule in the next four years. They took out the head of the Oath Takers, Proud Boys and one other. Had these folks not been eliminated, they would have been a royal pain in the @ss for Biden.

2. Intimidate much of the more motivated base. When the FBI in an unprecedented move “interviews” almost everyone, to include those that never entered the capital and there is no suspicion of wrong doing, that was to instill fear. Of course they say it’s just them following leads to get more information, but as stated, it’s “unprecedented” before and after J6.

3. De-legitimize the movement. The elections were very questionable, but after J6 a lid was put on that. J6 took the focus away from the elections and made it about Trump and those crazy MAGA folks.

4. The use of the word “sedition” was very intentional. Of course there are many protests, there are many times where federal courts are stormed, where folks enter the capital and J6 was in comparison to many others FAR less destructive. There are laws on the books against sedition and if you can get it to stick, if you can get enough people to accept this, you can effectively disqualify Trump from any future public office (5 years and effectively sink him).

J6 was a political chess move. Very effective BTW.

It worked so well because the MSM is pro-Democrat and the senior leaders in the DOJ are politically biased as well.

Well, we’re going to have to agree to disagree on the “harm” part.
