In the heart of San Francisco's Financial District on Monday, tensions flared as protesters were arrested after occupying the lobby of the Consulate General of "Israel", the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The demonstration, fueled by outrage over the ongoing genocide in Gaza, saw San Francisco police violently intervene.

As the protest escalated, police issued warnings to the demonstrators, advising them to vacate the premises or face arrest. But the latter refused to comply and expressed their intention to stay until forcibly removed.

The scene unfolded as police officers, equipped with zip-ties, began escorting protesters out of the building. Among the demonstrators were individuals who affixed signs to the consulate's glass doors, reading, "Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism."

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Sara, a San Francisco resident, described the diverse composition of the demonstrators and mentioned their shared stance against injustice.

She also voiced their desire to hold political leaders, including House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, accountable for their inaction.

"While we regret the inconvenience to people who are here for the Colombian [consulate], these kind of devastating and catastrophic times of genocide require strong action," Sara said.
