Many protestors who were arrested were gathered outside the home of Senator Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish himself.
Approximately 80 Jewish protestors were arrested Friday as they demanded officials in five major U.S. cities to stop Israel aggression toward Palestinians with fears of a 'genocide' breaking out in Gaza, according to a press release from Jewish Voice for Peace obtained by Newsweek.
In other cities, hundreds gathered outside Representative Nancy Pelosi's office in San Francisco where police took 15 people into custody. Protestors held signs outside Senator Patty Murray's office in Seattle that read: 'Jews against genocide of Palestinians.' There were also protests outside the offices of Representative Brad Sherman in Los Angeles and Representative Jan Schakowsky's in Chicago, according to Jewish Voice for Peace.
