NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 100 protesters were arrested during a demonstration Monday calling on Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to block the sale of thousands of U.S. bombs to Israel. Led by the antiwar group Jewish Voice for Peace, the crowd of hundreds initially attempted a sit-in inside the Manhattan offices of the lawmakers, citing their complicity in Israel's attacks in Lebanon and the U.S.-Israeli actions against Iran. When blocked by security, they staged an outdoor protest, chanting “fund people, not bombs” until law enforcement intervened, leading to numerous arrests. Those detained included whistleblower Chelsea Manning and actor Hari Nef. The protest spotlighted a legislative effort led by Sen. Bernie Sanders aiming to block a $660 million arms deal, which has seen divided support among Senate Democrats.
