Around 50 activists were arrested after a large crowd with the group Christians for a Free Palestine protested in the US Senate cafeteria on Tuesday.
“Congress and their staff will not eat today”, they chanted, “until Gaza eats”.
“I want to loudly proclaim that my Christian faith calls me to challenge Christian Zionism and stand in solidarity with Palestine,” reverent Naomi Washington-Leapheart, a national leader with Christians for a Free Palestine, said in a news release.
