Initiated by Central Jersey JVP, this demonstration is calling for an arms embargo on Israel.
We mourn every life that is destroyed.
Israel has killed 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza* (including 15,000 children) and over 650 Palestinians in the West Bank. Over 2,000 Lebanese citizens have been killed since the end of last month. This is in addition to the tens of thousands injured and maimed by the Israelis.
*As of 3½ months ago, an article in The Lancet estimated the death toll at 186,000. As Israel has destroyed Gaza’s Ministry of Health, we may never know the number of those killed by Israel since October 2023, but the widely reported numbers, for many months, of between 30,000 and 42,000 are obviously a severe undercount. As starvation, dehydration, disease, exposure, total lack of sanitation, lack of housing, lack of medical care, lack of everything needed for life, along with constant bombardments, continue, with no end in sight, the numbers will continue to skyrocket.
Israel’s bombs are killing its own hostages in Gaza.
WE DEMAND:
- The U.S. stops sending weapons to Israel
- Israel stops killing people in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza.
- Israel stops blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza
- Endorse the Joint Resolution of Disapproval (JRD) to stop the sale of $20 billion in offensive U.S. weapons to Israel.
STOP THE GENOCIDE.
FREE PALESTINE!
