Jewish Protesters Rally for Gaza Ceasefire in US Cities
TL;DR
Jewish protesters and supporters occupied the Oakland Federal Building in downtown Oakland to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and other groups, aimed to draw attention to the ongoing violence in Gaza and express solidarity with the Palestinian people. Demonstrators filled the federal building, chanting, singing Jewish songs, and calling on Rep. Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden to take action. The protest resulted in arrests, but organizers considered it the largest Jewish civil disobedience in Bay Area history.
