The group shouted “free Palestine” and held signs that read “Jews for Palestine’s freedom.” They also blocked off the building while demanding the U.S. government “fund FEMA, not genocide.”

The group posted on X following the arrests, “our ancestors taught us to never be bystanders in the face of injustice.” This comes after Israel’s military launched another attack Sunday, Oct. 13, which included an airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.

The strike targeted Hamas militants that were allegedly operating out of the hospital, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. An NYPD spokesperson said around 200 people were arrested at the protest.
