About 50 people gathered in front of the President in protest. All the people were arrested and removed by the police. The spokesman of 'Jewish Voice for Peace' pointed out that Joe Biden constantly supports the genocide in Gaza. Jewish culture teaches that life is the most precious thing. However, the organization accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The protesters, including Hunter Schaefer, were later released on bail.
Meanwhile, Israel continues to massacre Gaza despite global protests. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 29,954 people have been killed as of Wednesday. 70,325 people were injured. 76 people were killed on Tuesday night alone.
