People in New York City once again took to the streets to demand a permanent ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza and an end US aid to Israel. Protesters marched from Foley Square to NYC City Hall, Wall Street, and Washington Square Park to raise their demands. The protest took place as the United Nations Security Council was voting on a ceasefire resolution, which was vetoed by the United States.

The protest was called for by the Shut It Down for Palestine Coalition, composed of several organizations including the International Peoples’ Assembly, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the ANSWER Coalition, and National Students for Justice in Palestine, and dozens of other local New York City organizations.

    Every bullet fired, every bomb dropped, is money in the bank for American military corporations. War = $$$

        Both can be true. We can have a just war that prints money for bad people.

        The war in Israel, however, is a bad war printing money for bad people.

        Frankly, I don’t really understand how a privatized military industrial complex is not a blow to national security. You’d think we’d want more cost-effective munitions.

        Didn’t the CIA say Ukraine blew up Russia’s Nordstream pipeline (which carries Russian oil to Europe)?

          Don’t get the downvoted, I’m not sure about the CIA but the telegraph has stated the same from their own investigation

            Yeah the cia are the ones who said their info points to a Ukraine operation. Ukraine denies it but again, according to the cia report, some state actor did it.

            I’m not worried about downvotes. :) as far as i know it’s not like reddit where comments get hidden so meh, and With all the disinfo out there sometimes people get a little reactionary. Its nbd
