'Let Gaza live': Jewish demonstrators arrested at New York protest seder – video

‘NOT LIKE OTHER PASSOVERS’: HUNDREDS OF JEWISH DEMONSTRATORS ARRESTED AFTER NEW
YORK PROTEST SEDER

About 300 people were detained near Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s
Brooklyn home

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover
seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major
thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck
Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the
doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New
Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the
holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package
that includes $26bn for Israel.

The protesters called on Schumer – who is among a minority of Democrats to
recently criticize the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – to stop
arming Israel’s military, which relies heavily on US weapons, jet fuel and other
military equipment.

“We as American Jews will not be used, we will not be complicit and we will not
be silent. Judaism is a beautiful, thousands-year-old tradition, and Israel is a
76-year-old colonial apartheid state,” Morgan Bassichis, an organizer with
Jewish Voice for Peace, told the crowd.



“This is the Passover that we take our exodus from Zionism. Not in our name. Let
Gaza live.”

The mass arrests came after the seder rituals. Speakers included journalist and
author Naomi Klein, Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour and several Jewish
students suspended from Columbia University and Barnard College over the
protests that have rocked US campuses in recent days.

Rabbi Miriam Grossman, from Brooklyn, led a prayer before the first cup of
ritual wine. “We pray for everyone besieged, for everyone facing starvation and
mass bombardment.”

“This Passover is not like other Passovers,” said Klein. “So many are not with
their families but this movement is our family,” she added in reference to
political disagreements that have divided Jewish families since the start of the
war.



Klein spoke after eating the bitter herbs that represent the bitterness of
slavery at the seder. “Our Judaism cannot be contained by an ethno-state, for
our Judaism is internationalist by its very nature. Our Judaism cannot be
protected by the rampaging military of that ethno-state, for all that military
does is sow sorrow and reap hatred, including hatred against us as Jews.”

Jewish communities have often used Passover to protest about global injustice.
Tuesday’s protest, organizers said, was inspired by the 1969 Freedom Seder,
organized by Arthur Waskow on the anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s
death. The original Freedom Seder sought to connect the Jewish exodus story with
the struggle for civil rights in the US and against the war in Vietnam.

One protester, a 31-year-old Jewish woman who asked not to be named for security
reasons, said: “Passover is about liberation. In our family Palestinians have
always been part of our celebration and mourning. The call for liberation is
more important now than ever … as Americans the billions of our tax dollars in
the Israeli military bill is outrageous and horrifying.”



Jewish groups have staged a number of high profile, anti-war actions in the US
since 7 October, shutting down sites from the Capitol to the Statue of Liberty.
Jewish activists held another seder on Monday, the first night of Passover, at
Columbia’s protest encampment.

Israel’s offensive has killed at least 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza including
13,000 children. The 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas killed about 1,200 people in
southern Israel. Tuesday marked 200 days since the war began.
