Palestine Activists Celebrate A Win Outside The United Nations
On May 31, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir marched down Fifth Avenue as a part of New York City’s annual Israel Day Parade. He was joined by many of the state’s most prominent Democratic politicians including Governor Kathy Hochul, Senator Chuck Schumer and Attorney General Leticia James.
In another sign of collapsing support for Israel, Ben-Gvir cancelled a planned appearance at the UN on Tuesday in the face of a flurry of protests led by the Palestine Youth Movement-coordinated “Stop Ben-Gvir Campaign.”
