Protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war on Wednesday shut down the California Assembly on the Legislature’s first Capitol floor session of the new year.
Hundreds of demonstrators from Jewish anti-war organizations packed the Rotunda and the Assembly gallery and began chanting, singing and unveiling banners around 1:30 p.m., just as lawmakers reconvened in Sacramento after a months-long recess.
The Assembly was conducting routine business, the usual fare of opening day, and recessed during the protests before adjourning for the day. The Senate, which convened at 2 p.m., met without disruption.
The protesters were from groups that included Jewish Voices for Peace, IfNotNow and the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network.
Demonstrators’ banners read, “Jews say not in our name,” “Jews say no U.S. funding for Israel’s genocide in Palestine” and “Jews say California tax $$ for healthcare, housing, schools, climate.”
Lawmakers had differing reactions to the protest, which Legislative Jewish Caucus leaders said “shut down the democratic process.” Some Assembly members on the floor when the demonstration began immediately left the room and looked visibly upset.
"Shut down the democratic process." Sounds fascist to me.
"Visibly upset." Did they cry like Kinsinger?
None of the California Highway Patrol sergeants who provide security at the Capitol removed or arrested any of the demonstrators, who continued singing and chanting to a largely empty room.
What? No arrests? C'mon, man!

How can that be? I am certain that I have read here, on several occasions, that California is already not a democracy.
Besides, this particular mob appears to be politically illiterate. Quite stupid in fact. They occupied the legislature building of the wrong level of government. Aid for Israel or anywhere else in the world is a federal jurisdiction under US’ federalist structure, if not constitutionally stated and confirmed. Individual State legislatures have little to say or contribute to the matter.

As I wrote in another thread...The further we get from Jan6th, the more that people know that riot was in no way an insurrection.
