Protests against the genocidal war carried out by Israel against Gaza are continuing throughout the United States. 

New York, February 8 (RHC)-- Protests against the genocidal war carried out by Israel against Gaza are continuing throughout the United States. 

In New York City, at least 100 Jewish American activists and their supporters were arrested Wednesday as they blockaded a road on President Biden’s motorcade route as he attended fundraisers.

In Chicago, 33 people were arrested as they blocked entrances to the Woodward manufacturing plant, which makes military equipment that has been used by Israel in Palestine. 

In California, CodePink and other activists blocked an entrance to the Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield.  One organizer from CodePink said: “It’s our responsibility, when our government is so horrendously breaking international laws, to step up and say, 'No.  Not in our name.  Not with our tax dollars.  No weapons to Israel.'”

At least four people were arrested.  Fourteen CodePink activists who were arrested during a previous action at the Travis base will be arraigned later this month.
