Over 100 protesters, including Chelsea Manning, were arrested outside the NYC offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand while demanding they vote to block arms sales to Israel.
Coverage of the nearly 100 arrests at Senator Gillibrand’s Manhattan office highlights a divide in framing, with Common Dreams emphasizing the activists' "Talk Is Cheap" message regarding her voting power. In contrast, right-leaning Newstarget.com describes the senator as being "targeted" by demonstrators for her support of the Israeli military, while center-leaning NBC New York focuses on the logistical scale of the protest and the detention of high-profile figures.
