Jan. 16 — Cold weather didn’t stop a thousand people from coming to New York City’s Times Square tonight to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza. The bold action was called by the Shut It Down 4 Palestine Coalition.
Speakers emphasized that it was the courageous resistance by the people of Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen that forced Netanyahu and Biden to agree to a ceasefire. Among those who spoke were those from The People’s Forum; Nodutdol for Korean Community Development; PAL-Al Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition; and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
The billions that Biden spent killing Palestinians go right back into the pocket of the warmakers. “Even the jet fuel used by the planes bombing Gaza is shipped daily from Texas by the Valero Corporation,” said Bill Dores of PAL-Awda.
People marched north from Times Square before coming down Fifth Avenue. Everywhere, drivers and truckers honked their horns in support. Palestine will be free!
