Demonstrators led by the group Jewish Voice for Peace gathered at the rotunda inside the Oakland Federal Building in California on Monday to protest the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas terrorists.
Jewish Voice for Peace, which describes itself as the “largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world,“ posted on X Monday evening that “more than 700 Bay Area Jews and allies” were participating in the protest, which was part of a national week of Jewish-led protests calling for a cease-fire.
“We are not leaving, we demand an end to this bloodshed, we will not see Jewish grief used to perpetuate genocide,” the post read.
