Protesters Demand U.S. and U.K. Lawmakers Act to Stop Genocide in Gaza

On Capitol Hill, seven members of the group Doctors Against Genocide were arrested Wednesday inside the Hart Senate Office Building. The doctors said they were attempting to deliver to lawmakers what they called a “prescription” to end the forced starvation of children in Gaza. 
Here in New York, a group of veterans and peace activists have begun their third week on hunger strike outside the United Nations. We will speak to one of the hunger strikers, Kathy Kelly, later in the show.
And in London, pro-Palestinian protesters formed a red circle around the British Parliament on Wednesday. Iyas AlQasem of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign took part in the protest.

Iyas AlQasem: “Palestinian lives do matter. And everybody here is saying that if you’re a human with a conscience, you cannot watch a genocide. And worse than that, you cannot continue to arm a genocide. And that’s why they’re here.”
