Pro-Palestinian protesters staged a “seder on the street” demonstration outside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home in response to American support for Israel. The protest, organized by pro-Palestinian groups, coincided with the second night of Jewish Passover and aimed to urge Schumer to end U.S. weapon support for Israel’s conflict in Gaza. Photos from the protest showed a large gathering of demonstrators, with several individuals ultimately being arrested by the NYPD. The demonstration is part of a larger wave of anti-Israel protests in New York City, with hundreds of students and others being arrested at various universities. The escalating tensions have even led Columbia University to cancel in-person classes. For more breaking news, follow Sarah Rumpf-Whitten on Twitter at @s_rumpfwhitten.
