Protests against Israel’s U.S.-backed war on Gaza are continuing.
In New York City, Palestinian rights demonstrators descended on Grand Central Station earlier this week.
Elsewhere, protesters gathered in front of the United Nations headquarters to demand the protection of mothers and pregnant women in Gaza as U.N. officials held an event on maternal and newborn health for World Health Day.
Separately, the group Taxpayers Against Genocide delivered a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council Monday exposing U.S. complicity in systemic injustices and human rights violations against Palestinians.
Meanwhile, at Princeton, students protested an event featuring former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
21-year-old Princeton student Emanuelle Sippy, the daughter of a rabbi and president of Princeton Alliance of Jewish Progressives had this to say:
“Bennett has enabled violence at the highest levels of government and public life that attempt to justify violence that cannot be justified, killing that cannot be fathomed. His presence on our campus is a desecration of God’s name. To his enabling of apartheid, genocide and annexation, Jews at Princeton say, ‘Not in our name.’”
