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