    Protesters gather near Chuck Schumer’s home and claim he supports genocide

    Anti-Israel protesters gathered outside with their young children New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer house in Brooklyn, the New York Post reported Saturday.

    Images from the protest showed pastel-colored chalk covering the sidewalk, reading inscriptions like “Free Palestine” and children drawing watermelons, an image hijacked by Hamas supporters regarding Gaza.

    THE New York City said about 60 people gathered near Schumer’s residence for what was described as a “rage playdate” in Prospect Park West, New York.

    Parents held signs saying, “Children say stop Israeli genocide in Gaza,” while their children drew anti-Zionist Palestinian-themed coloring books.

    “Chuck Schumer enables genocide,” said one organizer.

    Support for Jews

    In July, Schumer said Israel had the right to defend itself against Hezbollah when asked about a rocket attack by the terrorist organization on a soccer field in the Golan Heights that killed 12 children and adolescents.

    He also criticized President-elect Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention in August showing his support for Vice President Kamala Harris.

    “But Donald Trump, he’s a guy who peddles anti-Semitic stereotypes. He even invited a white supremacist to Mar a Lago, and unfortunately his prejudices go in all directions,” Schumer said.

    Regarding the recent protest outside his home, Schumer’s office has not issued a statement, the New York City said.
