Thousands of Jewish protesters held an emergency sit-in at the Gand Central Station concourse in New York City on Friday demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.
“We’re refusing to allow a genocide be carried out in our names. Ceasefire now! Never again for anyone,” Jewish Voices for Peace, one of the organisers, said in a statement on X.
IfNotNow, which was also at the sit-in, said, “As the Israeli government starves and bombs and invades the people of Gaza in the dark, the actions we take these next days and weeks will define our lifetimes.”
