According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, New York peace activists, who are demanding a permanent ceasefire during the Gaza war to support the Palestinian people, have taken their most dramatic action since the beginning of the Gaza war. They did it today and closed the Manhattan Bridge in New York for three hours with their massive rally. Support for Palestine chanted and shouted: Let Gaza live. Protesters chanted messages with the content of a request for a permanent ceasefire in the occupied Palestinian territories and the Gaza Strip in the form of slogans, and as a sign of protest against the policies of the Biden administration towards the Zionist regime, any traffic on the Manhattan Bridge towards Brooklyn was completely blocked for hours. They blocked it.
The importance of this demonstration is that it took place on one of the busiest days of the year in America, influenced by the return of people from the Thanksgiving holiday, and the number of protesters was more than a thousand. And 500 people were mentioned.
Jay Saper, the leader of Jewish Voice for Peace activists, told the Guardian: We know that until the United States government If Israel’s funding and genocidal attacks against Palestinians in Gaza continue, nothing will return to the old routine.
It was noted that widespread protest actions against the positions of Tel Aviv and the United States provide the basis for intensifying international anger to stop the bombings and attacks of this regime against the people of Gaza.
Jay Saper even considered the extension of the temporary ceasefire in Gaza for two more days as a sign of the effectiveness of mass protests in the cities of the United States of America.
The importance of the demonstration on the Manhattan Bridge was due to the fact that Jews supporting Palestine and American and Palestinian Muslims chanted together for the liberation of Gaza. According to Saper, their civil protests have made the American government sensitive to polls in which the majority of Americans want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
According to He said that their protest actions make it impossible for the politicians of this country to continue supporting the actions of the Zionist regime, unless they want to resist the growing pressure of the people to establish a ceasefire.
Protesters in this gathering stated that they will continue their protest process until all Palestinians are freed and a ceasefire is established in Gaza.
