(Jewish Group) Protesters block access to Israel's San Francisco consulate on Yom HaShoah [View all]
More than a dozen demonstrators blocked access to the Israeli Consulate in downtown San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon to protest U.S. military aid to Israel.
In total the protest brought about 50 people to the Israeli consulate building, according to press reports. Some activists used a chain and pipes to link themselves together in front of the building’s main entrance for roughly two hours beginning at 5 p.m. They wore shirts that read, “75 years of Israeli war crimes,” referencing the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding, and chanted: “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea.”
Yom HaAtzmaut, or Israel Independence Day, starts the evening of April 25 this year.
Police were present but no arrests were made, according to Savanna Schwartz, director of press and communications for the consulate.
