Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Camp aside I do think Dark Betty was a compelling route for Betty’s character. Throughout the comics and various adaptations, she has always been depicted as the domestic option in the love triangle. White picket fences, settling down with a couple of kids and a dog. The safe option, the less “exciting” option. Veronica frequently wins Archie over with sex appeal, something Betty is shown to lack (at least when compared to Ronnie). And so to take that character and depict her as being so severely sexually repressed that she can only express her sexuality when she’s pretending to be someone else…I think it goes a lot deeper than most viewers realize
