Several protesters interrupted a U.S. Senate hearing Tuesday while the secretary of state spoke. Antony Blinkenabout Joe Biden’s plan to approve an emergency budget item worth more than $100 billion, including aid to Israel and Ukraine.
The hearing, open to the public, was attended by several people who raised their hands, painted red to symbolize blood, after Blinken spoke.
Then, having coordinated their actions, they began to disrupt the hearings with protest signs and shouts of “Cease fire, save the children of Gaza.” Where is your pride, America?

The interruptions occurred several times, with Blinken appearing serious, and each time security forces escorted protesters from the premises.
Some of the protesters also paused to protest Biden’s immigration policies: “All walls must come down,” they shouted.
On Oct. 20, announcing the move in his State of the Union address, Biden asked Congress to approve a more than $100 billion emergency budget item that includes $14.3 billion in aid to Israel and a new $61.4 billion package for Ukraine.

There is also 13.6 billion for various items to improve security on the border with Mexico and another 2 billion to improve security in the Indo-Pacific region, among other things.
US Secretary of State and Defense Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin will appear in the Senate today to defend this additional aid that Joe Biden’s government has requested from Congress for Israel, Gaza and Ukraine.
