Massive scuffle with police occurred at Biden party headquarters
Proponents of peace in the Middle East clashed with police at the headquarters of the US Democratic Party.
This was reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent and the Associated Press.
“Police and protesters clashed outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening during a demonstration for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas,” the agency reports.
ABC 7 Chicago reported that Illinois Rep. Sean Casten was evacuated from the headquarters.
“You have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble and protest. But blocking all entrances to a building that contains several members of Congress, protected by Capitol Police officers who survived January 6th, puts you and other innocent people at risk,” Casten said indignantly.
About 150 people "protested unlawfully and violently" outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington's Capitol Hill neighborhood, U.S. Capitol Police said. It is alleged that six police officers were injured and one of the demonstrators was detained.
In the video, many of the protesters could be seen wearing black shirts with the words "Cease fire now" written on them.
It is noteworthy that representatives of Jewish organizations advocated ending the war in the Middle East.
Among these people are activists from If Not Now and Jewish Voice for Peace, which organized other demonstrations in Washington.
