A small group of protesters gathered outside the Washington Hebrew Congregation on Wednesday morning as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to attend a memorial service for former United States Sen. Joe Lieberman, a strong supporter of Israel who passed away in March at the age of 82.
The protesters, wearing T-shirts that read, “Jews say stop arming Israel,” voiced their concerns as Netanyahu arrived for the service, marking the beginning of a busy day in the US capital for the Israeli leader.
