A new year of struggle for Palestine in New York City

New York, Jan. 1 — A thousand people came to Times Square in Manhattan on New Year’s Day to stop the genocide in Palestine and Lebanon. The latest atrocity is the Zionist regime’s attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

Biden and Trump were denounced for supporting Netanyahu’s Pentagon-supplied mass murder. Chants echoed off the gaudy flashing billboards surrounding Times Square.

The militant action was called by the Shut It Down 4 Palestine Coalition. Speakers represented the Palestinian Youth Movement; Mamas For a Free Palestine; Healthcare Workers for Palestine; PAL-AWDA NY/NJ; The People’s Forum; and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

People marched uptown and then across 54th Street, past Broadway theatres and the Rockefeller dynasty’s Museum of Modern Art. Window shoppers gawking at the fancy stores on Fifth Avenue showed support, as did visitors on a tourist bus on 42nd Street.

Coming back to Times Square, marchers held a brief rally. Palestinian supporters are determined to start a New Year of struggle. The people of the world are demanding a ceasefire to the U.S. / Zionist genocide.
