A mob of pro-Palestine protesters shut down the U.S. Senate cafeteria during the lunch hour Tuesday.
The protest appears to be led by a group called ‘Christians for a Free Palestine.’ The group posted multiple videos on social media touting their stunt.
In one video posted on X, the group wrote: These faithful protestors are in the Senate cafeteria singing the most beautiful song:
Palestine will be free,
Palestine will be free.
We will not avert our eyes,
Palestine will be free.

In another video, they are seen holding a large banner and chanting, “Congress won’t eat until Gaza eats.”
Saying “Congress won’t eat until Gaza eats,” over 60 Christians from across the U.S. are nonviolently blockading the Senate Cafeteria to pressure the Senate & staffers to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, restore aid to UNRWA, & end military funding to Israel. #CFPAction pic.twitter.com/3UCROsgOzL

“The Senate & their staff will not be dining today until the people of Gaza eat & 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…” the group declared.

Fox News reporter Aishah Hasnie announced: “Large senate cafeteria is shut down due to large protests by pro Gaza protesters. Chanting “Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats.” I’m told Police are arresting and escorting some out. Video sent to me by senate staffer.”

Reportedly, Capitol police arrested “a couple dozen” of the protesters.

The protesters then touted their arrests in more social media posts:
“Blessed are Gazans, woe to the Biden Administration!”
These powerful words were shared as peaceful protesters with #CFPAction were arrested & taken away by the police for calling attention to the complicity of Christian Zionism & US militarism in the genocidal assault on Gaza. pic.twitter.com/W6urCVtt9k

Peaceful protest and song calling for the cessation of a genocide shouldn’t be met with policing and arrest but then again, we shouldn’t have to protest to get genocide to stop in the first place. #CFPAction pic.twitter.com/YokUasYx2i

Social Media user Mike Ray commented on the protest, writing, “BREAKING: Time to heat up the April 9 commission to investigate the protestors that have stormed the senate cafeteria in DC. The insurrection has begun. Oh wait, these are liberal protestors protesting in favor of terrorists. Nothing to see here. We know where this will go .”

Another person, JJ Murray, wrote, “It appears an insurrection is underway at our Capitol with anti-Israel protesters shutting down the Senate cafeteria. Will the FBI be busting the insurrectionists and locking them up. Or nah?”
