On Monday, more than 40 pro-Hamas individuals were arrested by the United States Capitol Police for protesting inside the Hart Senate Office Building.
The police stated that the group commenced their “illegal protest” inside the building shortly after 10 a.m.
Videos from the scene showed the demonstrators lying on the ground, chanting for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Additionally, the protesters symbolically scattered what they referred to as “blood money” across the floor of the building’s atrium.
One protester scaled a sculpture.

Why shouldn’t they do this. If they are in a protective class there are never consequences.
Their poster reads — “Aid to Israel = Bombing Palestinians”
Darn right — if you come into our homes, butcher our grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, you better believe that we’ll come for you. And, G-d willing, we won’t stop until Hamas is totally and utterly destroyed.
And in my opinion, we are not bombing enough. We should not be sacrificing the lives of our soldiers to protect their civilians.
Lock them up! Check if any aren’t citizens, kick them out!
Oh no! Were democrats Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer cowering in fear under their desks?! First Jan 6th, now Dec 11th! Hopefully Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney will open a Congressional investigation into this horrific riot.
“Playing dead” – just like their brother antisemites from Gaza playing dead on Al Jazeera all the time….
It’s mind-boggling that there are actually Hamas sympathizers. All their international violations of human rights and war crimes doesn’t deter these people! I wonder what crimes they themselves are guilty of.
By all accounts—coming from staunch conservative commentators who’re hugely pro-Israel—Schumer outdid himself in his recent address to the Senate: talking straight about Hamas, criticizing his fellow Democrats, and meaning what he said.
So whatever else he’s said, done or failed to do in the past, right now is not the moment for cheap shots at him—from both a perspective of basic fairness, hakaras hatov, and practical self-interest.
(calling out general Dem ultra-hypocrisy about rioting on govt. property is fair game, of course)
