A handful of Jewish protesters demanding a cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group chained themselves to the White House fence on Monday before President Joe Biden hosted a Hanukkah holiday reception there.
Carrying a sign that read “Jewish Elders to Biden: Stop the Genocide, Ceasefire Now!”, 18 protesters made their presence known by chanting while secured to the barrier. The demonstration was organized by the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.
U.S. Park Police and Secret Service officers responded to the protest. The USPP issued citations and released the protesters.
