Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.
Keep your eyes on Palestine. We know the illegal occupation launches attacks when Western media is distracted.
In a now-deleted post, an Israeli occupation soldier posts images showing the abduction of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Among them were children and elderly civilians.
Many of these individuals were reportedly transported to Israeli detention camps, where numerous reports have emerged of systematic torture and deliberate health neglect, resulting in many casualties in these centers.

gofundme to help them
Help Hamza get his family out of gaza.
dreamt about a knight coming to you after a battle and getting on his knees in front of you and roaming his hands up your legs and smearing blood across your skin as he rests his cheek against your upper thigh. btw. additionally i would like to add taking his helmet off and hearing it rattle against the stone floor and running your hands through sweaty hair and praising him for protecting your kingdom. anyways.
The IOF massacred hundreds of Palestinian people at al-Shifa hospital. Reading accounts of this brutalization and violence is beyond horrifying. Israel is a terrorist state. Israel is committing genocide. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity. The zionist entity is both depraved and sadistic.

Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
