The orchestrated national campaign protesting Israel’s right to defend itself against barbarian attacks by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has been as creative as it has been relentless.
The latest antics by left-wing agitators was to shut down a cafeteria in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Tuesday to pressure President Biden to end his support for Israel and force a cease-fire that ultimately ensures the survival of Hamas — Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Hamas would be destroyed.
The mob of protesters, including ordained clergy, chanted, “Senate can’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

Capitol Police confirmed around 50 people were arrested, pointing out that it’s illegal to demonstrate inside any of the congressional office buildings.
The protests were organized by the radical left group Code Pink and Christians for a Free Palestine.
“Over 50 Christian leaders from across the US nonviolently blockaded the Senate Cafeteria to pressure the Senate and their staffers to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, restore aid to UNRWA, and end military funding to Israel,” Christians for a Free Palestine said 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.”

Michael Brown, the former Under Secretary of Homeland Security under George W. Bush, shared a video of what appears to be the same protesters in the basement tunnels that lead to the congressional office buildings.
“In another world this would be called an insurrection and they’d be hunted down by the FBI, thrown in the slammer, left to rot for months on end, and then given exorbitant sentences,” Brown posted. “But that would be another world. Or, another group of citizens. Not these.”

Many of the same protesters crashed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee, as he testified there’s “no evidence” Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip,
CodePink activists heckled and interrupted Austin as he testified, according to the New York Post.
U.S. Rep. John James, a black Republican from Michigan, shared footage of the protesters while tweeting: “Fun fact: Code Pink (who is funding these ‘protests’) is funded by the CCP. And while these people try to distract from the fact that the hostages are still being held by Hamas, Israel is fighting a war to preserve its existence and keep the Jewish people safe.”
