Fr fr stop these Jews.
Protesters in some U.S. cities demonstrated on Tuesday against American military support for Israel as risks have risen of a full-fledged conflict in the Middle East, with anti-war activists demanding an arms embargo against the U.S. ally.
Dozens of protesters gathered in Herald Square in New York City on Tuesday evening and carried banners that read “Hands off Lebanon now” and “no U.S.-Israeli war on Lebanon,” according to the ANSWER coalition group, which stands for “Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.”

Protesters chanted “Hands off the Middle East,” “Free Palestine” and “Biden, Harris, Trump and Bibi; none are welcome in our city,” referring to U.S. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A smaller protest with similar slogans and banners was also seen near the White House in Washington on a rainy Tuesday evening.
“Israel’s attacks in Lebanon and the ongoing siege and genocide in Gaza are made possible by the huge amount of bombs, missiles and warplanes provided by the U.S. government,” the ANSWER coalition group said in a statement. It said protests were also being organized on Tuesday in other cities like San Francisco, Seattle, San Antonio and Phoenix, among others.
It seems like now is the time to launch a new wave of protests.
School is almost starting again.
The same imperialist system of the United States that has supported the murder of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the brutal attacks in Lebanon is also responsible for the scheduled execution of an innocent man, Marcellus Williams by the state of Missouri tonight.
