More than 200 pro-Palestine protestors seen rallying outside Chuck Schumer's New York home are taken into custody as they call for U.S to halt providing weapons to Israel

More than 200 pro-Palestine protesters were taken into custody Tuesday night after a 'Seder on the Streets' demonstration held outside the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

In Brooklyn on Tuesday, protesters held a Passover Sedar, a ritual holiday meal and service, while urging Schumer, the highest elected Jewish American, to support an end to the US sending weapons for Israel's war in Gaza, organizers said in a statement.

'Hundreds will risk arrest while demanding Senator Schumer, who has recently spoken sharply against Netanyahu, take the next step and stop arming Israel,' the statement said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed to DailyMail.com that 209 people were detained, though an official number of arrests will not be available until later Wednesday morning, as some of the mob may just receive a summons. 

Far left groups Jewish Voice for Peace, far-left IfNotNow and Jews for Racial & Economic Justice led the estimated 2,000 protesters at Schumer's Prospect Park home.

Videos on social media showed several protesters being zip-tied by police armed in riot gear. Many chanted slogans like 'Cease-fire now' and 'Let Gaza live.' 

They sat around a banner that said 'Jews say stop arming Israel,' 'Stop starving Gaza' and 'no one is free until everyone is free.'

Protesters even projected a digital banner onto the Brooklyn public library that declared in all-caps 'Stop arming Israel.' 

'Everything in our tradition compels us to bring everything we have to stopping these historic atrocities being done in our names and with our tax dollars,' said Jewish Voice for Peace Executive Director Stefanie Fox to the New York Times.

MTA buses were used by police to transfer the protesters down to 1 Police Plaza. 

Senator Schumer was no one near his home Tuesday, as he was leading the passage of a $95billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The package that passed 79-18 ties together $60 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel and Gaza and around $4 billion for the Indo-Pacific - and a measure that could see TikTok banned in the US. 

'The bill the senator's just passed on the floor includes roughly $10 billion for humanitarian aid in Gaza and billions for Ukraine,' Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro told the New York Daily News in a statement.

'Getting this done is one of the greatest achievements of the Senate in years, perhaps decades,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said hours ahead of the bill's final passage. 

Last month, Schumer, said he believes Israel should hold a new election once the war in Gaza winds down. 

He gave a scathing critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he put himself in a coalition with 'far-right extremists' and warned 'Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.'

Beth Miller, Jewish Voice for Peace's political director, said those words are meaningless if he continues to fund the Israeli operation. 

'Senator Schumer just very recently spoke very harshly about Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Senate floor,' she said. 

'For him to do that with one hand, and then on the other hand reward Prime Minister Netanyahu by pushing forward this military funding package, shows that he is not serious about actually shifting US policy to leverage change.' 

The Israel security bill will offer $4 billion to replenish Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense system and billions more for weapons systems, artillery and munitions, as well as an additional $2.4 billion for US operations in the region.

Nine billion dollars in that bill goes to humanitarian relief for Palestinians in Gaza.

The event, which resulted in dozens of arrests, was held blocks from the residence of Senator Schumer

Sen. Bernie Sanders sounded off after his amendment to strip out offensive aid for Israel was taken out of the bill. 

'Hamas started this war, that is true. But this stopped being about defending Israel a long time ago,' he said on the Senate floor. 

'I am very disappointed, but not surprised, that my amendment to end offensive military aid to Netanyahu's war machine – which has killed and wounded over 100,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom are women and children – will not be considered.' 

Some 35,000 Palestinians have died in the war between Israel and Hamas, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, after 1,200 Israelis were killed on October 7. 

On college campuses, pro-Palestinian protesters have been camping out and tensions continue to escalate.

Columbia University anti-Israel protesters are calling on New Yorkers to join them as they claim the university threatened to call the National Guard after ignoring a midnight deadline to dismantle their encampment. 

At the Ivy League institution, in-person classes have had to be moved online through the end of the Spring semester.

Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine released a statement claiming the university threatened to call the National Guard on them.

'Columbia University threatened CUAD negotiators to call both the National Guard and NYPD if we do not acquiesce to their demands,' the group said.

'The student negotiating team has left the table and refuses to return until there is a written commitment that the administration will not be unleashing the NYPD or the National Guard on its students.'

'We remain steadfast in our convictions and will not be intimidated by the University's disturbing threat of an escalation of violence.'

Video posted to social media shows swarms of protesters gathering on campus telling people to brace for the next three days.

'We may need people to turn up quickly, en masse, in front of the encampment to defend the encampment,' one protester said through a megaphone.

'Will you be ready to turn up for your comrades? We are so close to divestment.'

Protesters, many wearing keffiyeh headscarves and face masks, have led chants including 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' - which Jewish groups say is anti-Semitic - and called for intifada, which means uprising. 

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to head to Columbia on Wednesday to meet with Jewish students as some have expressed fear and feeling unsafe with the escalating vitriol reported on campuses.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to a two-state solution and said he should resign.

She joins Schumer and a growing list of prominent Democrats who have given blistering critiques of the Israeli leader or called for him to step down over his handling of the war in Gaza. 

More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 77,000 have been wounded since Israel declared war in Gaza following the October 7 Hamas attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds hostage.
