‘No war crimes in our name,’ Jewish protesters say outside Kamala Harris’ LA home

Protesters led by progressive Jewish activists rally outside the Brentwood home of Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on Thursday morning.

LOS ANGELES — Led by progressive Jewish activists for Palestinian rights, dozens of demonstrators rallied outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Los Angeles home Thursday morning calling for an immediate cease-fire as Israel continues its bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the days since the attacks by Hamas militants.

Around 7:20 a.m., about 50 people pulled up in cars outside Harris’ home in the quiet Westside enclave of Brentwood and walked to the front gate holding signs that read “Jewish ceasefire now” and “No war crimes in our name.” Some organizers wore neon green transit vests to make sure traffic was not blocked on the two-way street.

Harris lives in the residence, who is Jewish. It’s unknown if they were home during the demonstration. A representative for Harris’ office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
