Israelis and American Jews protest outside of Netanyahu's hotel in New York City

Dozens of Israelis and American Jews gathered outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hotel in New York City on Monday to call an end to the occupation of Palestine and to protest against Netanyahu's policies ahead of his meeting with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Maya Herman, a founding member of the anti-occupation bloc, told Middle East Eye that the group is calling for an end to the occupation to be added to the main list of demands in the pro-democracy protests that have been taking place in Israel since January 2023.

This lady demonstrates why it’s essential to distinguish between Zionists and Jews.

Mad respect for these Jewish people. It takes a lot of courage to come and speak against a country that claims to represent you

Babies and young children are in a very difficult situation.
People are hungry, cold, they no longer have homes, they no longer have cities.
My heart hurts so much.

Very honest and fair Jewish woman, thank you very much for your bravery 🙏🏻

[ParissaKhoury]

As an orthodox jew. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. ISRAEL, USA AND UK NEED TO STOP THE GENOCIDE TAKING PLACE ON THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LANDS or history wont be kind to them as it wasn't to the Nazis and every other occupation.

Proud of this Israeli lady and other similar human right activists who have been speaking out against the atrocities and oppression subjected on Palestinian women, men and children for decades. Democracy for all. God bless these Jewish brothers and sisters who stand up against their racist government and stand for human rights of Palestinians and Israelis and ALL people. We may be from different religions, races and backgrounds, but we are all brothers and sisters, and stand up to protect each other.

[ahmadnasr]
