At an NYC rally, Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat, emphasized ending violence and suffering by suggesting the release of hostages and urging Hamas to lay down arms and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Rep. Jerry Nadler, also a Democrat, faced significant backlash, including loud boos and cries of 'Shame!' for advocating increased humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza over Hamas's actions, despite not commenting on whether the US should condition military aid to Israel. Nadler's stance, supported by early elections in Israel as echoed by Senator Schumer, was particularly criticized by a mother who lost her daughter to a Hamas attack on October 7th, telling Nadler to 'be ashamed of yourself.' The mixed reactions, including chants of 'bring them home' from the crowd, underscore a deep divide within the American Jewish community over Israel's military actions and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
