A group of anti-Israel protesters targeted the Shabbat dinner of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer while he was visiting his daughter, aiming to disrupt the occasion. The incident, reported by JNS_org, has sparked a debate on social media, with several users condemning the act as a form of antisemitism, despite claims by the protesters of anti-Zionism. Critics argue that the choice to protest specifically during a Shabbat dinner, a sacred time for Jews, indicates an underlying antisemitic motive. The event has been widely criticized as an unacceptable form of harassment and intimidation.
Antisemites believe the more they hate us, the more they exclude us, the quieter and less "Jewish" we will be. Little do they know that their hate is empowering the next generation of Jews to be more proud and more Jewish than ever!

Anti-Israel protesters found out that Majority Leader of the US Senate, Chuck Schumer would be visiting his daughter for a Shabbat dinner on Friday. They decided to organize a protest below her apartment in an attempt to ruin his Shabbat https://t.co/VY0qpQoSqG
People picketing Shabbat dinner are telling you exactly what they’re actually opposed to https://t.co/zaMY17ts7p
Again, who is going to have their opinion swayed by people who are telling you the reason they chose to harass Schumer is because they're having *Shabbat* dinner? The pro-Palestine/Hamas people want to just bully people into hating Israel and they really suck at it. https://t.co/eayPc5hGae
If this were just about harassing people over Israel, they would have interrupted Chuck Schumer and his daughter at dinner. But it was clearly important to them that it be Shabbat dinner. Why do you suppose that is? https://t.co/cDUKZ0nW7z
Stalking and harassing a Jewish man during shabbat dinner with his daughter in the name of “freeing Palestine” is just another example of Jew-haters that claim anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism proving themselves wrong. https://t.co/E8g1zjGbbu
Harassing Jews during Shabbat dinner is a great way to demonstrate that you’re not antisemitic, you’re just antizionist. https://t.co/PcM63ZJybq
