Anti-Israel agitators held a “street demonstration” in front of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s home in Brooklyn to protest U.S. support for Israel.
The protests came after the Senate passed a $95 billion emergency foreign aid package for Israel, Gaza and Ukraine.
The protest, organized by pro-Palestinian groups, was described as a “street rally” on the second night of the week-long Jewish Passover festival.
Photos from the protest showed a large crowd of demonstrators gathered in front of Schumer’s home in Brooklyn, New York.
