Dozens arrested at anti-Israel protest in NYC calling to block sale of US bombs

[IsraelTimes] JVP-led protesters attempt to hold sit-in inside the offices of Democratic senators Schumer and Gillibrand, who haven’t backed resolutions by Bernie Sanders to stop $600M sale

Nearly 100 protesters were arrested during a demonstration Monday calling on US Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is NaN years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

...Machine non-entity selected to become the successor to Hillary Clinton as Senatrix-for-Life from Noo Yawk. She is running for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. She has no observable principles, will apparently say anything to anyone, and seemingly lacks any personality of her own....
to block the sale of thousands of US bombs to Israel.

Can they accomplish that as leaders of the minority party?

Led by the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace,

… neither Jewish nor for peace, it was founded by Hamas BDS activist Hatem Bazian, while its social media managers live in Lebanon and a large chunk of its funding comes from the Soros Open Society Foundations. But some of its useful idiots identify as “Jewish”…

the crowd of hundreds initially attempted to stage a sit-in inside the Manhattan offices of the two Democratic politicians they accused of abetting Israel’s intensifying attacks on Leb

A shaky ceasefire between Israel, the US, and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

…and ended Monday morning by Iran’s choice.

After demonstrators were blocked by security from entering the building, they stopped traffic outside, chanting "fund people, not bombs" as they were arrested and loaded onto three buses.

Among the 90 people taken into custody were whistleblower Chelsea Manning

...formerly Bradley Manning before he decided to become a girl. He, or she or whatever it was, was a misfit Army intel analyst who decided to leak all the secrets he could lay hands on. Sentenced to 35 years in Leavenworth, he was sprung on an Obamapardon in 2017....

The demonstration focused on a set of resolutions introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders

...The ~~only~~ first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
that could block the sale of more than $600 million in bombs to Israel.

Similar measures previously introduced by Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have failed. But the most recent effort this past summer drew support from more than half of Senate Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

. Schumer and Gillibrand were not among them.

Protesters on Monday said Israel’s air and ground offensive in southern Lebanon, along with the larger US-Israeli war on Iran, added to the urgency of the vote, which is expected later this week.

"This is the moment when Schumer and Gillibrand must listen to their constituents," said Sonya Meyerson-Knox, the communications director with Jewish Voice for Peace. "The majority of Americans and New Yorkers want a resolution to what the Israeli government is doing."

Inquiries to Schumer and Gillibrand were not immediately returned.

Israel launched its campaign against Iran, alongside the US, on February 28 to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, distance threats posed by Iran, including its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, Israel’s military and other Israeli leaders have said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck reached for the green sauce...
Hezbollah, operating in southern Lebanon, has been firing hundreds of rockets per day at Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces, which has responded by targeting the Iran-backed terror group.

Iran and Hezbollah openly seek to destroy Israel.
