Anti-Israel protesters gathered outside the home of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer in Brooklyn, New York, to express their disapproval of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Demonstrators included families with children, who were encouraged to participate in a “rage playdate”. The rally was organized by the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and a group called Within Our Lifetime. The protesters voiced their opposition to the U.S.’s financial aid to Israel and called for the end of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The demonstration ended in a clash with the NYPD due to the lack of a proper permit for the protest.
