Protesters gathered in the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon to protest the Israeli government, with some being arrested by law enforcement.
Video shows a large group of protesters wearing red shirts sitting in circles in the Cannon House Office Building’s rotunda. Demonstrators clapped and chanted as police officers were seen apprehending fellow protesters, who were escorted away.
The protesters appeared to be part of a Jewish group, with several of them wearing kippahs. Some of the shirts read “Jews Say Stop Arming Israel.” Other shirts read “Stop Arming Israel” and “Not in Our Name.”
A source from the office of Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat from Michigan, told Fox News that staff and interns barricaded themselves in their offices, which were close to the demonstration. The protesters were nearby, and the source said the protesters were “violently beating on all three of the doors.”
