If it goes as planned, Jewish Voice for Peace says it will be the largest act of civil disobedience in NYC in 20 years.
Members of the Jewish Voice for Peace and the IfNotNow movement stage a demonstration in support of a ceasefire against the Palestinians in Gaza at the National Mall on October 18, 2023, in Washington, D.C.Thousands are set to protest in New York City on Friday evening to demand an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza in what organizers predict will be a “massive” demonstration, organized by anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.
“In the last two weeks, over 7,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis were killed. Every bomb dropped on Gaza threatens the lives of 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza and 200 Israeli hostages. The only way to save lives through an immediate ceasefire,” the group wrote in a press release.At the demonstration on Friday, Jewish faith leaders plan to hold a Shabbat service to affirm the Jewish principle that every life is precious, or B’tselem Elohim, according to the release.
The resolution passed 412 to 10, with only nine Democrats, including members of the progressive “Squad,” voting “no,” and several others voting “present.”
