Demonstrators who are seeking a cease-fire solution in the Israel-Hamas war shut down a convention held by the California Democratic Party (CDP) in Sacramento, Calif.
The Los Angeles Times reported that protestors barged through a security detail at the event Saturday evening, resulting in delegates and other participants in the convention to be temporarily boxed out from entering and exiting the building.
Protestors were carrying signs of “Free Palestine” as they chanted “cease-fire now. Cease-fire now,” while marching through the convention hall.
Protestors also referred to President Biden as “Genocide Joe,” also saying “bombing hospitals and children is a crime,” according to the LA Times.
Democrats for Israel California board member Naomi Goldman told the news outlet that it was painful to hear protestors chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” She expressed the frustration she and other Jewish-born delegates felt who attended the convention.
