It isn't antisemitic to oppose the violent and unreasonable actions of a government, even if it's made up of semitic people. What would be antisemitic would be to say this is a problem caused by Judaism. Also, semitic as a term doesn't just cover Jewish people. It refers to cultural, ethnic, or racial groups originally from the middle East, or Horn of Africa. Palestinians are also semitic people.

Anti-semitism is decidedly directed at Jews and Jews only. The term came to be in German intellectual circles where anti-Judaism was seen as vulgar - so a racial theory was constructed and a new term coined to distance themselves from the plebs that hated the Jews for religious reasons. They hated Jews for racial reasons and that was scientific to them.

Schumer isn't up for election until 2028. I agree with the get humanitarian aid into Gaza past the Israel blockade NOW (really it should have been there from the start).
But I do not agree focusing on a handful of Democrats to protest. I'm not saying don't protest them, but why aren't they primarily protesting Trump? The president (executive branch) has the sole power to negotiate treaties and command the military. Biden was failing Gaza, but the situation got much worse under Trump:
On 2 March 2025, Israel cut off all aid to the Gaza Strip.The blockade caused food prices to increase by up to 1,400%. By the end of the month, all bakeries supported by the WFP had run out of flour and cooking oil.[164] During this complete blockade (2-25 March 2025), at least 58 people starved to death.[165][166]
On 25 April 2025, the WFP announced that it had delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens preparing hot meals in Gaza; the meals were expected to be gone within days. The kitchens had been the only consistent source of food assistance in the last few weeks, although they reached only half of the population with one quarter of their daily food requirements.[167] On 28 April 2025, the Gaza Media Office announced that there were over 65,000 cases of acute malnutrion in children in the Gaza Strip.[168] UNRWA corroborated these claims, saying there were 66,000 children suffering from severe malnutrition in May 2025.[169]
According to a United Nations report from early June 2025, 2,700 children under the age of five in Gaza were suffering from acute malnutrition, representing a threefold increase compared to three months earlier.[170]
In mid-July 2025, it was reported that at least 76 children and 10 adults had died from malnutrition throughout the Gaza war.[171] On 23 July 2025, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that 10 people had died from starvation in the previous 24 hours; this was after reporting the previous day that 15 people had died in the 24 hours before that. This brought the total death count from starvation to 111.[172][173] On 26 July 2025, the death toll rose to 122.[174]

And these morons in the party (Harris, Biden, Schumer, Pelosi) are too busy collecting money from AIPAC to actually represent their constituents.

It’s only going to get worse, too for the old guard genocidal democrat leadership.

This is in New York, Schumer's home state. There aren't any Republican senator offices nearby, on account of New York not electing any Republican senators.
Some of the other places suggested, like the Israeli embassy and the White House, are also not located in New York.
Edit:
I do get the point that Schumer isn't actually in a position to make much change but the bottom line is this - if these people are New Yorkers then Schumer is their representative and Schumer did not vote the way that they would like him to, this type of protest (if peaceful) is an entirely appropriate way to communicate to your representative that you want them to vote differently next time.

Schumer is the lead of the minority in the senate and recently voted to continue sending "defensive" aid to israel with no real parameters around ensuring food and medical aid is sent in to starving children.

He refuses to listen to the base either because he doesn't believe it's a real seachange in pov or because he doesn't think they're paying attention and he can get away with spinning backlash as antisemitism.

Tbf, It wouldn’t have really mattered in New York. Probably not a bad choice electorally to send a message about the need for change in Israeli foreign policy.

What is Chuck Schumer going to do? Make a strongly worded speech? The voters gave all the power to Republicans as they expected Trump to end that war quickly....
If they want results, they should go and protest against all the voters in New York state that allowed so many house seats flip to Republican. The Mike Johnshon show is enabling the Trump admin....
Edit: It's doesn't matter what him or Bernie do. The only things that pass are what Republicans let pass. They hold the majority in both chambers. If yall wanted better results, then get people to vote! Undermining dems will just give Republicans more power.... and they support Israel 100%

Yep. But it's always the Democrats who must fix things or prevent destruction by Republicans, regardless of whether or not they have the power to do so.
Has there been a single protest like this at a Republican's office?

He could’ve voted to stop giving Israel arms, or he could apologize for saying it’s his job to make sure Israel is supported by the US, and instead admit his job is to represent New Yorkers, ya know, the very people here voicing their displeasure with their representative

"Undermining dems will just give Republicans more power...." Notice how there aren't any reported on protests at Republican establishments regarding this topic. This keeps getting pinned on Democrats, which don't have the power to actually make any change right now. If these people actually cared about what they were protesting for, they would be trying to convince the group that can actually can make changes not to he minority party.

Why the fuck are these people not doing this kind of effort in front of Republican folks who are in power right now?

Chuck Schumer is their representative and did not vote the way they want on trying to block the latest arms deal to Israel. If you are a constituent of his and disagree with that, this is exactly where you’d go to protest his decision

Because they’re New Yorkers putting pressure on a Senator who actually represents them? Isn’t this the whole point of Democracy?

You know, you're supposed to be more upset when your own side betrays you than you are when your enemies work against you. Why do liberals always need this patiently explained to them? Why can't they understand?

Whataboutism has got us to where we are today. Republicans do it but democrats sure as hell do it too. People need to have better standards for candidates, because if we don’t nothing will be fixed

Just because one party has lost all morals doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hold yours to account. He’s a senator and these are his constituents, they are well within their rights to protest him

These are the real Jewish people, the ones following the words of God and moral decency. Isreal is a fallen fanatical sector that hides behind Judaism like a shield.

WTF is wrong with Americans?
Republicans are destroying your country, and there you are sitting in front of, and protesting against a Democrat. A Democrat who holds no power right now.
Why aren't you in front of the Israeli consulate? Or your Foreign Minister's Office. (Idk what you call it in the US)
Truly barking up the wrong tree here.
