Dozens arrested in Capitol Rotunda at anti-Israel rally led by Linda Sarsour
The New York Post ^ | 12/19/2023 | Steven Nelson

Police arrested “roughly 60” anti-Israel protesters inside the Capitol Rotunda Tuesday after a group led by controversial activist Linda Sarsour staged an illegal rally in the iconic venue.

“Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel’s crimes!” chanted members of the group, holding “Stop Arming Israel” signs.

It is illegal to hold demonstrations inside the Capitol, though violators of the prohibition are inconsistently prosecuted by the DC US Attorney’s Office after being arrested.

“We were aware of a group’s potential plan to take a tour of the US Capitol Building and then start a protest,” Capitol Police said in a statement.

It is against the law to demonstrate inside the Congressional Buildings, so we brought in additional officers to be prepared for the moment the group would break the law. The group was screened when they entered the building. Once they broke the law, roughly 60 people were immediately arrested for [violating] D.C. Code § 22–1307 — Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.”

The US Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether charges will be pursued against members of the group. *** Sarsour, the Brooklyn-born daughter of Palestinian immigrants, is an advocate of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which seeks to build global economic pressure on the Jewish state. ***

None will face jail time.

That’s reserved for those who demonstrated against the stolen election of 2020.

Many of those people left their failed shithole nations to come to America to become Americans. For a better life.

It looks like Linda’s parents as well as Linda want to hang onto their shithole nations value sets and convert America into their home failed nation.

And there she is, at the forefront of every anti American political game

Yep, import the turd world, be the turd world.

Only if you're a MAGA Republican.

Linda Sarsour... it’s been a while since this hateful b*tch’s name has popped up. She is a well-documented Israel-hater.

Defnition
incommode
incommoding

To inconvenience someone.

People on Jan.6th might have faced that charge instead of the infamous lawfare attacks on them and going to solitary confinement.

But Leftists get a break.

RE: “Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel’s crimes!”

To be objectively honest, that is a pretty catchy rhyme for a protest.

Best is “Hey, Hey, LBJ! How many kids did you kill today?”

“Ma! Ma! Where’s My Pa?” “Gone to the White House, Ha! Ha! Ha!”
From the 1884 election to shame Grover Cleveland for his nonconsensual sex with a young woman who became pregnant. His handlers had her forced into a mental institution with cause and she got out later. ...”
media alleged Cleveland’s bachelor quarters were a “harem,” where he brought unsuspecting women and prostitutes. They also subsidized massive distribution of a song mocking Cleveland entitled: “Ma! Ma! Where’s My Pa?”
He admitted paternity later.
