Ribuan penunjuk perasaan berkumpul di Manhattan kelamrin, sebagai tanda solidariti terhadap rakyat Palestin di Gaza.
Perhimpunan aman itu menyaksikan penunjuk perasaan mengibarkan bendera Palestin berjalan dari Times Square menuju ke bangunan Konsulat Israel dan ibu pejabat Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu , ketika persidangan Majlis Keselamatan PBB berlangsung.
Petang kelmarin, beberapa pertubuhan termasuk ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ dan ‘If Not Now’ cawangan New York berarak ke rumah pemimpin majoriti Senat, Chuck Schumer di Brooklyn bagi menggesa menamatkan semua pembiayaan ketenteraan AS kepada Israel. Dalam protes berasingan di Manhattan, ratusan mengibarkan bendera Israel sebagai tindak balas mengecam serangan Hamas.
“Kami berkumpul sebagai solidariti kepada rakyat Palestin yang berjuang selama 75 tahun penjajahan tentera Israel, keganasan pendudukan dan 16 tahun sekatan tentera ke atas Gaza,” kata ahli kumpulan Pergerakan Belia Palestin, Munir Atalla, 30, antara seorang penganjur demonstrasi itu.
