WASHINGTON — Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., said Friday that his office at the U.S. Capitol was vandalized on July 4 in which posters he had hung up of hostages held in Gaza were ripped down. “My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway,' Schneider, a Jewish member of Congress, said in a statement.
' 'These actions don’t advance peace,' he added. 'Instead, they play directly into the hands of Hamas terrorists enabling them to continue to hold hostage not only those they kidnapped from Israel, but all civilians in Gaza as well.' Schneider's office said that it notified U.S. Capitol Police about the incident Thursday. The USCP did not immediately return a request for comment. Other members of Congress, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa.
