Jewish Activists Arrested for Peacefully Protesting Israeli Military Fundraiser in US

‘On May 12th, Gregory Williams and Dan Fischer were arrested in Westport, Connecticut after attempting to enter a Synagogue where a fundraiser was being held for the Israeli military (IDF).
Williams, a student at Yale Divinity School, and Fischer, an activist with the Middle East Crisis Committee, entered the temple in Westport in order to peacefully protest the actions of the IDF.

They simply came to read a Palestinian woman’s statement to the people at the fundraiser about her son being killed in the 2009 attacks on Gaza. They did not get to do so, however, because they were immediately detained by the Synagogue staff after stating their intent to recite the mother’s words.’
