Authorities responded to anti-Israel protestors occupying a U.S. Senate office building on Tuesday afternoon.

The large group of protesters was captured on video inside the Philip A. Hart Senate Office Building as they shouted their demand for an end to the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

Many of the protesters were seen wearing red T-shirts emblazoned with the words “STOP ARMING ISRAEL.” 

Demonstrators were seen on multiple floors of the building, with some throwing sticky notes bearing that same phrase from the upper floor balconies into the atrium. Some were hanging banners that said, “time to act” and “fund Life not genocide.”

It was unclear how many arrests police made related to the protest.

    Gee, do you think the FBI/DOJ/DHS and the Media will treat this in any way like Jan. 6? Given our unequal justice under the law and new jurisprudence of “Show me the person, and I’ll show you the law,” I suspect not. It is more likely there will be some Kabuki moves resulting in nothing, and our Universities of lower learning will praise the Demonstrators. Praise for these demonstrates is taking a stand that they can decide who should live and who should die. People who say that used to be institutionalized. Nowadays, they are Democratic social justice warriors. I wonder how they will respond if another group somewhere designates them as targets.

    This protest is all in vain and worthless and a waste of time. Congress is in a lame duck session with the GOP in total control come January. President Trump is already stacking his new cabinet with pro Israel staff. New pick Mike Huckabee has said there is no Palestine as a state. There is no West Bank as the land is ancient Judea and Samaria. The new administration will arm Israel and look for an Israeli victory over Hamas this coming year. President Trump will restore the Abraham Accords.

    If the Palestinians who STARTED this war were winning, these idiots would not be saying a word. They are simply anti-Semites who will ultimately answer to God for their hatred.

    These fools would do well to read Scripture that says, I (God Himself ) will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you. Yes, that is what He told Abraham.

    Why are these idiots not being locked up like the Janurary 6th protestors. They just stormed the U S Senate.

    Throw the so called students asses in jail for more than a day or two. They have no idea what they are complaining about. Israel is the one that was attack. They have all the right in the world to defend their Country. You are a bunch of followers, you have no idea what you are doing, and you are a disgrace to America.

    Looking forward to all of those, “Insurrection” charges by a partisan and illegal Pelosiesque committee.
    Be careful, Little Rabbits.
    The polite AMERICANS may soon lose civility in the wake of oppression.

    Some were hanging banners that said, “time to act” and “fund Life not genocide.”??? Does that apply to abortion as well? Methinks not.
