Jewish activists protest killings of Palestinians by delivering symbolic coffins to Chuck Schumer's office

IfNotNow, in spite of comprising of Jewish activists, stands against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem had sparked several protests in Palestine, amid which more than 60 Palestinians were killed, including an 8-month old infant.
Amongst the protesters, some were armed with stones and rubber tires, to which the Israeli forces retorted by the use of live ammunition and tear gas that left more than 2,000 people injured.
