'Cut the cr*p': Pro-Palestine activists send Nancy Pelosi a special delivery
Pro-Palestine activists protesting Nancy Pelosi's stance toward Israel's war on Gaza have made a special delivery to her home with 300lbs of manure dumped outside her front yard.
A handful of protesters were seen offloading a pile of waste from a pick-up truck in San Francisco on Thursday, to protest the Democrats' backing of Israel's brutal assault on Gaza.
The activists, using the tagline: 'cut the cr*p', demanded that House speaker Pelosi stop the US arming Israel, with nearly 29,000 Palestinians killed since 7 October.
Protesters raised placards with this message over the steaming pile of manure, along with another saying 'khara 3alayki', meaning "s*** on you" or "eat s***".
Pelosi, like President Joe Biden, is seen as a firm supporter of Israel, having made repeated visits to the country.
Demonstrations have been held outside homes of Democrat officials, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza where children have been among those most at risk of Israeli bombs.
Since 7 October, Israeli bombing and shelling in Gaza have killed over 12,500 children and orphaned another 13,000

Additionally, countless more have lost limbs or suffered other debilitating injuries, while 100 children have been killed in the occupied West Bank in the past four months.
Americans have held mass rallies against the war, including Washington where an estimated 400,000 turned out in January demanding an end to the Israeli assault.
Activists in the US have held demonstrations outside the homes of other pro-Israel lawmakers.
While the Democrat-led US government has been slammed for its stance on the war - shipping out weapons to Israel and refusing to back a ceasefire - some, such as Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, have been applauded for their principled opposition to the massacres.
