Democratic Candidate Arrested at UN Protest Accuses Netanyahu of Overseeing Child Massacre
Hours after her arrest outside the UN headquarters in New York during a protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, Democratic congressional candidate Daria J. Chevalier published an op-ed detailing her experience and leveling severe accusations against Israel. Chevalier, who has received backing from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, wrote in The Guardian that she "refuses to host a person who oversaw the massacre of children," adding that Netanyahu belongs in the Hague.
Chevalier alleged that "the Israeli apartheid regime disappears men, women, and children into military prisons known for physical, sexual, and psychological torture." She further warned that "every dollar invested in armaments is a dollar stolen from communities in the United States."
The protest occurred as Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly. Chevalier's arrest sparked debate about freedom of speech and the nature of protests against Israeli policy.
