Protests in response to Israel’s assault on Gaza have drawn hundreds —
and in some cases thousands — around the world. On Tuesday, members of
Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews Say No! occupied the New York City
office of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, a nonprofit group
that raises money in the United States to send to the Israeli military.
For about an hour, activists read the names of the more than 600
Palestinians killed and demanded the organization stop its fundraising
for the military attacking Gaza. Nine were arrested when they refused to
leave the premises. We get a video report from the protest.
