From the New York Post: Anti-Israel protesters gathered in the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon to protest the Israeli government.
Video shows dozens of protesters wearing red shirts sitting in circles in the Cannon House Office Building’s rotunda. The activists wore shirts reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Not in Our Name.”
The gathering comes the same week that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting the U.S. Netanyahu plans to speak with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris this week.
Students for Trump chair Ryan Fournier posted a video of the huge protest.

Fournier then compared the protest to an incident which occurred in late May 2023, when a children’s choir singing the national anthem in the U.S. Capitol were stopped by the Capitol Police, who declared, “We don’t allow demonstrations in the Capitol.”
The Capitol Police claimed they didn’t know the kids had permission to sing there, and then said it was a “miscommunication.” The group reportedly had been given permission by then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
