Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters poured onto the streets of Brooklyn, New York’s largest district to voice their anger at Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip, AFP reports.
Left-wing American Jewish activists are also up in arms against Israel’s onslaught against the Palestinians.
“We’re mobilising all across New York City, flooding Brooklyn,” to call for the “liberation (of) each and every single Palestinian”, said 21-year-old protester Abdullah Akl.
Protest organiser Nerdeen Kiswani took aim at American “politicians” for their unwavering support of Israel.
“We are here as New Yorkers to say that we’re against this and we’re against the politicians, the local politicians as well like New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, who have both pledged unconditional support to Israel,” said Kiswani.
