3 women arrested outside the Israeli embassy.

December 29, 2008 - As part of a group of 60 people from the Atlantic
Life Community, three mothers, Heidi Schloegel, Ellen Grady, and Clare
Grady, were arrested outside the Israeli embassy. The group was
petitioning embassy officials for an end to Israeli air strikes on
Gaza. The three approached the embassy gate singing "Peace, Salaam, Shalom"
and holding signs which read, "Peace. Stop the killing," and "Stop the war on the children." They knelt and prayed before being arrested. The three mothers were
held over night, and appeared for
arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia

God fearing......not police fearing.

Thank you Ellen, Clare, Heidi. On your knees, in prayer, with not an ounce of violent intention on your faces was too much for these armed men. And too much for Israel's image. God be with those who are suffering in GAZA.

Why waste your time? Do you really think there will ever be peace in the middle east??

[hithalesoliveira]

@MrSkydog I pretty much have nothing else to hold but hope and faith, and "ever" it's a loooong period of time

interesting. all the chanting was a little bit creepy but interesting. unfortuately people have to realize that protesting like this doesnt exactly help. they should have just stayed across the street. they already had the media attention they needed to spread the word.
