Some 200 activists with Jewish Voice for Peace protested at the Manhattan offices of New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand on Friday to denounce their votes against halting arms shipments to Israel. Banging pots and pans to highlight Israel’s starvation of Palestinians, the activists chanted “Stop starving Gaza!” and “Never again for anyone!” JVP says 50 Jewish New Yorkers were arrested by police. Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman and Charina Nadura covered the protest. Earlier this week, the Senate voted 70-27 against a measure introduced by Vermont’s Bernie Sanders to block $675 million in additional U.S. arms sales to Israel. Both Schumer and Gillibrand voted no. At least 159 Palestinians in Gaza have starved to death amid Israel’s ongoing siege blocking most humanitarian aid from entering the territory.
