Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, was arrested during a protest against U.S. funding for Israel's military actions in Gaza. He interrupted a Senate committee meeting to criticize Congress for detrimental spending priorities that, according to him, harm children in both Gaza and the U.S. Cohen emphasized the need for more humanitarian aid in Gaza amidst an impending famine. He, along with other protesters, faced charges for their disruption, underscoring their commitment to political activism in response to international issues.
I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US.
Cohen called on lawmakers to do more to get food into Gaza, where the United Nations has said a famine is looming.
