NOTE: Massive actions in solidarity with Palestinians are taking place across the country and around the world. See more tweets from these actions at the bottom of this page. #FreePalestine.
These days may be remembered as a turning point for the Palestine solidarity movement in the United States. Despite every effort by the most powerful people in New York City, over 10,000 protesters courageously marched to demand freedom for Palestine.
Starting in Times Square, the massive crowd made it clear where the people stand. The politicians and generals who are rushing to guarantee limitless support and weaponry to Israel as it carries out a massacre in Gaza of massive proportions do not speak for the people of this country. The people are for Palestine!
In a blatant attempt to shut down free speech, New York Mayor Eric Adams mobilized the entirety of the NYPD — all 36,000 officers — based on the outrageous and racist notion that pro-Palestine demonstrations represent a grave danger to public safety. The city’s authorities along with the major news outlets treated this righteous expression of solidarity as a terror threat. But the enormous turnout provided a resounding answer: resistance is not terrorism!
This act of defiance has left the city’s elite rightfully humiliated. Especially over the past 20+ years, the NYPD has been built up into a hyper-militarized force larger than the armies of many nations. The Arab and Muslim community in particular has been a key target for surveillance and suppression. But that cannot stop the movement for justice.
It is clear that Israel’s ultimate goal is to wipe out Gaza. This is a genocide. But the people of the world, joining hands with the heroic people of Palestine, can stop it.
