In New York City, over 1,000 peaceful protesters held a sit-in protest Sunday at the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge, halting traffic to downtown Brooklyn. Protesters, led by Jewish Voice for Peace, unfurled banners reading \u201cLet Gaza Live\u201d and \u201cThe Whole World Is Watching\u201d as they sat in the roadway chanting, \u201cUp with liberation! Down with occupation!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their protest came three days after protesters disrupted the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade to demand an end to U.S. support for Israel\u2019s occupation and bombardment of Gaza. \u00a0Protesters wore jumpsuits covered in fake blood and glued themselves to the street, briefly displaying banners reading \u201cFree Palestine\u201d and \u201cGenocide then, Genocide now,\u201d before police moved in to arrest them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Seattle, the City Council passed a resolution backing a ceasefire, the largest U.S. city so far to do so. But Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, who proposed the resolution, called it \u201cwatered down\u201d after it removed condemnation of the Israeli military, the occupation of Palestine and U.S. funding for Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
