ALBAWABA - Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness recently made headlines after a viral video captured him protesting the US-Israel war against Iran during a Senate hearing in North Carolina. 

The video showed McGuinness resisting arrest from multiple Capitol Hill Police officers as he shouted, "No one wants to fight a war for Israel." Reports state that the veteran was hospitalized after US Senator Tim Sheehy reportedly broke his arm after it was caught in the door.

One of the attendees was heard shouting when they heard a pop from McGuiness's arm, "The senator [Tim Sheehy] broke his hand!"

The attendee added, "A US Senator just broke the hand of a Marine."

The hearing took place to discuss the US National Defence Strategy and military readiness for the country's war with Iran. However, it was cut short when McGuinness, who is running for the North Carolina Senate and represents the Green Party, suddenly shouted, "America does not want to fight this war for Israel." 

The Marine Veteran added, "America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel!"

US President Donald Trump's joint operation with Israel against Iran resulted in the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several other prominent members of the Islamic regime.

Israel's preemptive attack on Iran, in a joint attack with the US, sparked chaos in the Middle East. In response, the Islamic regime struck US bases and embassies across the Middle East, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
