On Thursday afternoon, over a dozen pro-Palestine demonstrators were arrested at the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. The demonstrators were heard chanting for a permanent cease-fire in the rotunda of the government building, connected to the U.S. Capitol Building.
During the protest, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida was seen attempting to conduct a TV news interview amidst the loud chants of the protesters. The demonstrators were calling for dignity, not inhumanity, and advocating for food, not bombs. Some even identified themselves as Christians for a cease-fire.
