Over 100 Arrested in Nationwide 'Seder in the Streets' Protests Against U.S. Aid to Israel

Protests occurred in multiple cities during Passover, demanding the U.S. halt military funding to Israel amid escalating violence in Gaza.

Hundreds of protesters, including many Jewish participants, were arrested near Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's home in Brooklyn and at other locations across the U.S.
The demonstrations were part of a coordinated effort by Jewish Voice for Peace to highlight opposition to U.S. foreign aid going towards military support for Israel.
Protesters in Seattle and New York used Passover's theme of liberation to draw parallels to the Palestinian cause, advocating for a cease-fire and an end to what they describe as genocide.
Influential figures like Linda Sarsour and Naomi Klein spoke at the events, emphasizing the need for Jewish solidarity with Palestinians.
The Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, including significant military aid to Israel, shortly after the protests.
