Seder in the Streets: Hundreds Arrested in Brooklyn Protesting U.S. Arming of Israel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brooklyn, New York, police arrested as many as 300 Jewish activists
who took part in a massive outdoor Passover Seder near the home of
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Protesters were calling for the
U.S. to stop funding Israel's assault on Gaza. This is Simone Zimmerman
of Jewish Voice for Peace.

Simone Zimmerman: "What does it mean to celebrate a holiday about
liberation in a moment in which Palestinian lives and freedom are under
their most grave assault since the Nakba of 1948?"
