Chaos erupts as pro-Palestinian protesters demand ceasefire at the Capitol; at least 3 allegedly assault cops
The New York Post ^ | 10/18/2023 | Ryan King

Hundreds of Pro-Palestinian protesters converged on the US Capitol complex Wednesday, demanding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Capitol Police, which tightened security in advance of the protests said an unspecified amount of demonstrators were arrested, including at least three on charges of assaulting a police officer.

Emotions were tense as the largely progressive crowd felt betrayed by President Biden and other leading Democrats for backing Israel’s bid to eliminate the terrorist threat in the Gaza Strip.

“I think the White House and everyone thinks we’re just gonna sit back and let this just continue to happen. No!” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) declared to a sea of activists outside the Cannon House Office Building.

A swarm of protesters also made their way to a sit-in protest at the building’s rotunda, where politicians and reporters often film their TV stand-ups and interviews.

The massive demonstration was promoted by Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive Jewish pro-Palestinian group. *** Members of the group donned black shirts emblazoned with the words “Jews say ceasefire now” and chanted in the rotunda while waiving signs with similar pleas to end the war.

“The root of violence is oppression, and we’re here to say not in our names,” the organization posted to social media. ***

Insurrection! Worse than 9/11!

The Jews for Peace will not be treated like the January 6th protesters.

The difference between January 6 protesters and October 18 protesters, is that the January 6 protesters were demanding a return to constitutional freedoms. The October 18 terrorists are advocating for the hamas charter and the elimination of Israel as we know it.

The former is protected free speech while the latter is a call for terror.

How many were shot and killed because the cops “felt in fear for their lives”? Even though there was no wall between them.

When do the October18th hearings start? I hope the FBI got lots of good selfies of the savage ruffians. Especially of that very familiar woman in her Water Buffalo hat.

That Arab countries absolutely refuse to let these sub-humans into their countries tells you all you need to know.

These people are nothing but murderous trash and nobody wants them around. They are a hateful and violent people with no intention of living in peace with ANYBODY. They don’t want to work peacefully to provide for their families. They just want to kill others. They are consumed by hate.

These people need their own isolated island far from civilized society where they can kill each other and leave the rest of us alone.

The Jewish Voice for Peace claims to be 300,000 strong. More info on who they are is on this link.

Here's a possibility:

Probably welcomed by the Rep

Just another “peaceful protest” by one of the approved and accepted protest groups.

“Jewish” Voice for Peace which happens to have at least some Muslim leadership...

Like BLM which was loaded with white leftists.

Probably mostly Muslim and few if any actual practicing, synagogue-attending Jews.

The phrase “not in our names” brings to mind who they likely are, one the fake made up for the moment names are stripped away:

The pro terrorist groups from 9/11 ... Not In Our Name part of the pro North Korea coalition ANSWER.
