Nearly 100 protesters were arrested in Manhattan while demanding Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand support a resolution to block a $600 million bomb sale 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.
