‘Stop the Genocide’: New York Protesters Demand End to Israel’s War on Gaza

Protesters demanded a ceasefire and the end of Israel attacks on Gaza, in New York City.

Protesters held a banner declaring 'AIPAC funds genocide', while participants chanted 'Free Palestine', 'Let Gaza live', 'Stop the genocide' and 'Ceasefire now'.

The United States vetoed another United Nations Security Council draft resolution on Israel’s war on Gaza, blocking a demand for an immediate ceasefire.

Protesters shout slogans as they march demanding a ceasefire. Washington has been averse to the word 'ceasefire' in any UN action on the war.

The US traditionally shields Israel from UN action and has previously vetoed two other UNSC resolutions since the war began on October 7.

Jewish Voice for Peace, an antiwar group, said that 18 Jewish activists were arrested for 'shutting down' the New York offices of Democratic senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.
