Approximately 80 Jewish protestors were arrested Friday as they demanded officials in five major U.S. cities to stop Israel aggression toward Palestinians with fears of a "genocide" breaking out in Gaza, according to a press release from Jewish Voice for Peace obtained by Newsweek.
Over 2,000 Jews, including students, rabbis, and descendants of Holocaust survivors, protested in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and Los Angeles, calling for their elected officials to prevent a genocide of Palestinians. The protesters were arrested while blocking the streets outside of the homes and offices of Congress members, according to Jewish Voice for Peace, a progressive organization.

..."Meanwhile, the United Nations (UN) has said that a 24-hour evacuation of northern Gaza is "impossible" and that it will have "devastating humanitarian consequences."
Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, spoke out against Israel's warning on Friday, alleging that this sort of mass evacuation is a form of "ethnic cleansing."
"With communications and electricity shut down by Israel, the order cannot be communicated. Roads are bombed and many cars are out of fuel, making fleeing impossible for many," the congresswoman wrote in part on X, formerly Twitter.
While Omar has been a vocal critic of Israel for what she describes as human rights abuses against Palestinians, she also condemned Hamas' attack. "We need to call for deescalation and ceasefire," she wrote on X last week. "I will keep advocating for peace and justice throughout the Middle East."
