DCNF: Palestinian Protesters Gather Outside Of Prominent Dem Officials’ Homes, Office Buildings

Pro-Palestinian protesters in California gathered around Vice President Kamala Harris’ Los Angeles home and chained themselves to Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco office building on Thursday, reports showed.

Protesters from IfNotNow, a Jewish group “organizing” to “end U.S. support for Israel’s apartheid system,” gathered around Harris’s home for several hours while chanting “not in our name” and “whose side are you on,” according to a video the group posted to Twitter. A separate crowd of protesters from a different group chained themselves to Pelosi’s office while screaming “free, free Palestine,” KTVU Fox 2 reported.

“We are here to call on Nancy Pelosi to sign the ceasefire resolution that’s in Congress right now, we are here to tell Nancy Pelosi that she has blood on her hands and to also call out $3.8 billion in funding that the U.S. sends to the Israeli military every year,” Violette Mansour, one of the protesters, told KTVU.

Democratic Rep. Cori Bush from Missouri introduced a resolution that urges President Joe Biden to “facilitate deescalation” and to send humanitarian aide to the Gaza strip. It is backed by several Democratic politicians, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, according
