Hundreds of anti-Israel protestors gathered outside Senator Chuck Schumer‘s (D-NY) Brooklyn residence, demanding that the United States “stop arming Israel.”
On the second day of the Passover Jewish holiday, hundreds of demonstrators appeared to gather in the street outside Schumer’s home for a “Seder in the Streets” according to video footage posted to X.
A seder is a Passover holiday dinner that includes songs, stories, readings, and special delicacies, among other traditions. It is celebrated on the first night of Passover in Israel, but on the first two nights of Passover elsewhere.

Protesters allegedly demanded that the United States stop giving weapons to Israel while it conducts its war against Hamas.
NYPD cops were seen on camera informing protesters outside Schumer’s home that they were “blocking vehicular traffic” and would be prosecuted for disorderly conduct if they did not “move and get onto the sidewalk.”
Protesters chanted, “Stop funding genocide.”
Collin Rugg, co-owner of Tending Politics, tweeted a video of the protest:
“NEW: Pro-Palestine protesters gather outside of Senate leader Chuck Schumer’s home in Brooklyn. Remarkable. The police are reportedly now making mass arrests as protesters take over the streets. Shortly before the event, the organizers called on Schumer to “stop arming Israel.” “Hundreds will risk arrest while demanding Senator Schumer, who has recently spoken sharply against Netanyahu, take the next step and stop arming Israel,” the protest organizers said. Earlier in the day, Schumer thanked Speaker Mike Johnson for passing the Ukraine/Israel funding bill.”

Jewish Voice for Peace NYC tweeted out that thousands of US jews held an emergency Passover seder, shutting down streets of Schumer’s home. I thought during Passover, Jews were supposed to abstain from most of the same activities they avoid on the Sabbath. I guess only observant Jews do it anymore.
They had the time to shut down the streets of Brooklyn and demand no more funding for Israel, which is trying to destroy a terrorist organization. They will tell you that they are not supporters of Hamas but of the Palestinian people, Palestinians who danced and cheered on October 7. A poll shows 90% of “Palestinians” still support the terror group Hamas. The terror group will resume firing rockets into Israeli neighborhoods the minute this is over. These protesters are supporting people who cheered when 1,200 Jews were slaughtered.

And so it seems that the police got to Schumer’s house pretty quickly, unlike when it took weeks to get to Supreme Court justices, where they had the same thing done to them, only they were not Democrats, so law enforcement was not ready to help as fast as a Democrat senator.
I wonder if Chuck Schumer now understands what it’s like to dog whistle to people that they should attack his political enemies, this time Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
