Far-left protesters who hate the Jewish nation of Israel and support the Hamas-controlled Palestinian people made their presence and demands known in the U.S. Senate building on Tuesday.

According to multiple sources, including the Capitol Police, around 50 of those anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested after they forced a shutdown of the Senate's cafeteria, the Daily Mail reported.

The protesters were organized by two leftist activist groups -- anti-war feminists Code Pink and Christians for a Free Palestine -- and their demands included an immediate ceasefire of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, restoration of funding for a corrupt United Nations aid program in Gaza, increased humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and a cessation of all financial and military support for Israel.

Protesters block access to Senate cafeteria

National Review reported that a spokesperson for the Capitol Police said in a statement, "Approximately 50 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building this afternoon."

The spokesperson added that it was against the law for protesters to hold demonstrations inside any congressional building and suggested that the arrested protesters could face a criminal charge for "crowding, obstructing, or incommoding" lawmakers -- the same charge that has been applied to many of those who were arrested following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot of 2021.

Videos posted on social media showed Code Pink protesters, many with red paint on their hands symbolizing blood, marching through the halls of Congress while chanting slogans like "Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats," while the Christians for a Free Palestine group formed a blockade to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the Senate building's cafeteria.

Protesters disrupted Senate hearing with Defense secretary

National Review further reported that before the two leftist protest groups shut down the Senate cafeteria, some of them first disrupted a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Pentagon's budget that featured testimony from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

While the secretary was delivering his opening remarks, protesters forced their way into the room and began chanting things like "stop the genocide in Gaza," though they were quickly removed by security and even admonished for their inappropriate behavior by the progressive committee chairman, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI).

Ironically enough, and directly undercutting the common cry of anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protesters, Austin later testified during that hearing that the U.S. didn't have "any evidence of genocide" committed by the Israelis against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Activist group demands more food aid for Palestinians, end of military aid for Israel

The Hill reported that, according to the Christians for a Free Palestine group, at least 60 protesters participated in the disruptions in the Senate building, with the group saying in a statement, "They announced that they would not leave or let anyone get food in the Senate Cafeteria until nourishing food is sent to Gaza and the U.S. stops funding the bombs that have killed over 33,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7."

One of those protesters, identified as Nichola Torbett, further explained in a statement, "The Senate and their staff will not be dining today until the people of Gaza eat and are safe. We are here to pray blessings for the food that Congress will send to Gaza when they do the right thing. We are here to call attention to what is wrong, like our faith calls us to do."

The demonstration was likely spurred by media reports of increasing hunger and potential starvation for many displaced Palestinians in Gaza amid Israel's existential fight against Hamas terrorists, as well as the recent accidental Israeli airstrike against a convoy of aid vehicles operated by the World Central Kitchen aid group that resulted in the deaths of seven aid workers.

Leftist anti-Israel protesters continue to disrupt Congress with demonstrations

National Review noted that this was far from the first time that leftist pro-Palestinian protesters have forcibly disrupted the U.S. Capitol with their anti-Israel demonstrations inside the halls of Congress and even at the gates of the White House.

Whether those leftist protesters who've been arrested ultimately receive the same legal treatment as the supposed Jan. 6 "insurrectionists" who also demonstrated inside and outside of Congress is a question that most conservatives won't like the answer to.
