"Arrests and Demands: Jewish Activists Rally at White House, Urging Ceasefire in Israel-Gaza Conflict"
Jewish activists and allies were arrested during a protest at the White House, demanding President Biden to urge a cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza war. The demonstration, organized by Jewish groups IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace, took place as Israel prepares for a major military offensive in Gaza. The protesters recited prayers, sang Jewish songs, and chanted slogans, expressing their grief over the violence and their opposition to the potential genocide of Palestinians. The Israeli military's airstrikes have killed thousands and caused a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
