Protesters held for opposing detention of Palestine activist

The New York City police arrested scores of demonstrators who were protesting on Thursday at the Trump Tower against the detention of a Palestinian activist and military support for Israel.

The crowd of about 150 demonstrators — from the progressive anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace, who wore shirts with the message, "Jews Say Stop Arming Israel", gathered at about noon in a downstairs atrium outside the Trump Grill restaurant in Manhattan, the New York Post reported.

A total of 98 people were arrested.
