‘Justice for Palestine’ protesters interrupt Cory Booker’s campaign kickoff speech by hunterw
The event was the launch of a two week “Justice For All” tour for Booker in the city where he served as mayor from 2006 until 2013. Booker has framed his campaign around an emotional and optimistic pitch to voters. He maintained that tone in the speech as he outlined some of his core policies including lowering the age of Medicaid eligibility and establishing a “baby bonds” program to provide low-income children with a nest egg when they reached adulthood.
“You say ‘Justice For All’ and he named, you know, clean water, housing, affordable health care, freedom but he doesn’t ... talk about Palestine. They’re struggling just as much as us here — even more,” Wajeeh Abushawish, who was part of the group, said. Abushawish said the protesters attend Rutgers Newark and are part of a group called “Students For Justice For Palestine.” Booker has angered some pro-Palestinian activists by his staunch support for Israel. He is a co-sponsor of a Senate bill intended to combat the “BDS” movement that aims to put economic pressure on Israel to end its occupation of territory claimed by Palestinians.
