Jill Stein, a 73-year-old Jewish U.S. presidential candidate, was arrested at a Gaza solidarity gathering at Washington University in St. Louis. Stein, along with her manager Jason Call, was detained by police while peacefully protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza. The arrest occurred amidst accusations of U.S. police using crowd control techniques learned from the Israeli military, which Stein had previously criticized as an assault on democracy. The incident has sparked further debate about the influence of Zionism on U.S. policies and the state of free speech and assembly rights in the country. Stein was handcuffed and her hands were tied with a zip-wire during the arrest, which also highlighted the opposition to the UK-US-EU-armed operations in Gaza.
