Protestors calling for Israel to accept the attacks from Hamas without response staged disruptive protests outside the U.S. Capitol and inside Congressional office buildings on Wednesday. U.S. Capitol Police appear to have made multiple arrests as protestors have refused to disperse from inside the Cannon House Office Building, with such behavior once labeled an “insurrection” by almost all left-leaning politicians and the corporate media.
According to the Capitol Police, protestors inside Congressional office buildings will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House Office Building. At least three have been arrested for assaulting police.

Hundreds of members of the pro-Palestinian group Jewish Voice for Peace took over the lobby of the Cannon House Office Building, staging a sit-in. Protestors were able to hang a black banner with the word “Ceasefire” painted on it from the second floor balcony of Cannon as police struggled to maintain control.
Outside, on the Capitol grounds, additional protestors were egged on by a handful of Members of Congress including Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Tlaib once again falsely claimed that the Israeli military was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital that resulted in civilian casualties. The Israeli and U.S. governments have both concluded that the deadly blast was caused by Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israel that misfired and hit the hospital parking lot.
Tlaib also had strong words for President Joe Biden, warning her party’s leader that American Muslims won’t forget his decision to back Israel: “A lot of people are not gonna forget this… the fact of the matter is, our lives aren’t safe with you.”
Yesterday, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police notified Congressional staffers that a “heightened security posture and an increased police presence will be in place Wednesday…”, noting that Capitol Square would be restricted to Members of Congress, staff, and those on official business. The alert also recommended that Members and staff use the underground tunnels that connect the Congressional office buildings with the U.S. Capitol.
