Nov. 19 – Last night, New York City showed up to declare “Death to the IDF” in response to the Nefesh b’Nefesh (NBN) settler recruiting fair, which seeks to recruit American settlers to illegally occupy stolen Palestinian land. As we demonstrated, IOF warplanes were firing missiles into refugee tents in the Old Quarter of Gaza City, murdering at least 40 children, women and men, wiping out several families. It was the 394th time the IOF had violated the “ceasefire.”
As intense U.S. and IOF-backed settler violence expands in the West Bank and the Zionist entity’s murder toll in Gaza increases daily, Zionists in NYC showed up to the fair with signs reading “80,000 was not enough,” and “complete the genocide.” Our demand remains clear: our neighborhoods cannot be used for the displacement, murder, and colonization of Palestinian people and land.
Wednesday’s NBN recruiting event was a material example of the ongoing colonization of Palestine. As the United Nations Security Council voted to create a U.S.-led security force whose directive is to disarm the Palestinian resistance – echoing the pattern of colonial plans that have sought to strip away Palestinian agency for decades. Past “israeli” government-affiliated organizations like the NBN continue to facilitate the ongoing Nakba in the form of murder, land theft, and dispossession that the genocidal zionist state is built on.
