Far-left staffers for Democratic members of Congress are holding a protest on Capitol Hill urging US President Joe Biden to “stop funding Israel’s war against Palestinian civilians.”

Roughly two dozen staffers are participating, many wearing masks to hide their identities.

From photos of the event posted online, there appear to be nearly as many reporters covering the protest as demonstrators.
