Pro-Palestinian protesters recently took over the U.S. Capitol, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Hamas terrorists in Gaza and Israel.
This demonstration occurred just a day after a tragic bombing at a hospital in Gaza, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of Palestinian lives.
The protesters, donned in black shirts with messages such as ‘JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW’ and ‘NOT IN OUR NAME,’ occupied the large rotunda in the Cannon House Office Building.
They held posters bearing slogans like ‘LET GAZA LIVE’ and ‘MOURN THE DEAD, AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING.’ As the group’s chants and singing grew louder and more disruptive, Capitol Police made 300 arrests.

Public access to the Capitol complex was cut off as the building was flooded with angry Palestinian advocates.
Despite warnings from the Capitol Police, the protesters continued their demonstration, leading to mass arrests. The protest even led to the removal of a sign outside Rep. Randy Weber’s office that read ‘I stand with Israel.’
The Israeli Defense Force vehemently denied allegations by some Democrats that Israel intentionally targeted the hospital, a claim that would constitute a war crime. The Defense Department and Biden both suggested it is ‘highly improbable’ that Israeli forces were behind the explosion.
The incident threw Biden’s trip to the Middle East into chaos, leading to the cancellation of a scheduled meeting in Amman with the king of Jordan and the presidents of Egypt and Palestine.

Jonathan Conricus, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), claimed they have conclusive evidence that Israel was not behind the strike; although this evidence has yet to be published.
Meanwhile, Rep. Rashida Tlaib accused Israeli leaders of lying about their actions, despite assurances from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his government was not behind the bombing.
The Israeli Defense Forces released a recording they claim to have intercepted from two Hamas officials discussing the origin of the missile. Despite this, Israel’s foes – Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, and Iran – all insist the IDF was behind the devastation. T
he situation remains tense as the world watches and waits for a resolution to this ongoing conflict.
