Protestors from a group who call themselves 'Jewish Voice For Peace' have taken over the U.S. Capitol rotunda.
Additional footage of the protestors: News Nation reports: A large group of protestors called "Jewish Voice for Peace" came to the Cannon House Rotunda in the US Capitol complex Wednesday to demand a ceasefire in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Jewish Voice for Peace describes itself on its website as the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.
"We are proud Jewish people standing in solidarity with Palestinians demanding a ceasefire immediately," Liv Kunins-Berkowitz, media coordinator for the group, said.
"A genocide is underway and everyone has to know." Kunins-Berkowitz said members of Jewish Voice for Peace came to Washington, D.C. with a message for U.S. President Joe Biden, who was in Israel meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday.
Jewish Voice For Peace writes on its website: We're organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all people.
If you've been looking for a political home for Jews on the left in this perilous moment; if you've been wanting a Jewish community with justice at the center; if you've been looking to turn your rage and grief into meaningful, strategic action: Join us.
