Thousands of protesters marched on the streets of Manhattan, New York City, in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people just hours ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations to call for an immediate end to Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
Footage shows protesters carrying signs reading, “Free Palestine,” “Stop the genocide” and “Free Gaza,” while chanting, “We won’t pay for Israel’s slaughter.”
Members of the Orthodox Jewish community were also seen joining the protest with signs reading “Judaism condemns … Israel.”
“Today, once again, the enemy wants us to believe that the Palestinian people have been defeated. Here, in the belly of the beast, they want you to believe that the movement is not important. That our protests have no impact…. If this is true why Netanyahu is crying about protests in the West?” said one of the speakers.
