Syria Strike Protesters Arrested at White House !! "War is Terrorism" [View all]
Syria Strike Protesters Arrested at White House
'War is terrorism,' says priest before blocking gate.
September 23, 2014
About two dozen anti-war activists rallied near the White House Tuesday against U.S. airstrikes in Syria, which began Monday.
Five of the mostly gray-haired protesters were arrested for blocking a White House gate after insisting they meet with President Barack Obama or a senior official to discuss their concerns.
“It’s urgent that we meet with him!” a woman shouted to Secret Service agents, to no avail.
...
The bombing of Syrian jihadis, the protesters said, would only strengthen fundamentalists who have declared a caliphate in eastern Syria and northwestern Iraq. Instead, they recommend humanitarian aid and an arms embargo against all groups in Syria.
