"Not in Our Name": 400 Arrested at Jewish-Led Sit-in at NYC's Grand Central Demanding Gaza Ceasefire

We bring you the voices of Jewish Voice for Peace and their allies who shut down the main terminal of Grand Central Station during rush hour Friday in one of New York's largest acts of civil disobedience in 20 years to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. The multiracial, intergenerational movement says about 400 people were arrested, including rabbis, famous actors and elected officials from the New York State Assembly and Senate and the City Council.

[@thepotato3275]

​@@brunoantony9257 Hamas was made by Israel The Israeli military administrator of Gaza, Brigader General Yitzhak Segev, told The New York Times that he assisted in funding the movement that became Hamas as a counterbalance to the PLO and the communist "The military government provides funds to the mosques, and the Israeli government gave me a budget," he declared. This early support helped sow the roots of radical Islamic parties like Hamas. The original sin was Israeli assistance for Yassin in the late 1970s, according to Colonel David Hacham, an Arab Affairs expert in the Israeli military who served in Gaze in the 1980s. However, he has contended, "nobody thought of the possible results at the time." However, Avner Cohen did In the mid-1980s, Cohen, an Israeli official in charge of religious affairs in Gaza for more than 20 years, even wrote an official report cautioning against dividing and control in Gaza and urging Israel to "Break up this monster before this reality jumps in our face." presently, he says, "Hamas, to my Great regret, Is Israel's creation." Don't believe me? search it up.

The state of Israel is not committing genocide, if that was what they wanted you would not see any more civilians alive in Gaza. The only way anyone has survived genocide is by running to another country that would protect them just like what happened in Rwanda. When HAMAS built the military bases under Gaza they committed a war crime and made the whole place a legitimate target under international law. And by supporting it and allowing them to get away with it you are encouraging the use of human shields. When all this is over and done I hope we are all held accountable for how close we have come to a world war, and if it goes that far don't think that no one will use nukes. The people you are supporting certainly would use them if they could get their hands on nukes if it meant annihilation of the Jews.

As a Christian Palestinian American my heart is breaking for my people and their suffering and at the same time overwhelmed with the support Palestinians have been getting after so many years by brothers and sisters all around the world. We grew up desensitized to the pain our people faced because many would not listen to our voices. Thank you to everyone that has been a voice not just for the Palestinian people, but to the innocent Jewish people who want nothing to do with these crimes against humanity. May God protect each and every person that stands in love for humanity. ❤

Growing up as a Palestinian American Christian, there was a constant hopelessness my refugee parents passed onto me. We were constantly faced with racism that we just learned to live with. When I saw this, it made me cry so hard. I never thought I would see the day when this many people would recognize us as human beings and defend us. I wish my father had lived to see all this love. Thank you with all my heart on behalf of the voiceless refugees and those suffering. You are all earth angels in my eyes 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful people!! I am a Christian and I am so touched by the Jewish people who are coming out in defense of the people of Gaza. I was also moved by three Hasidic Jews (judging by their clothing and hairstyles) who were displaying placards in London with the message " Judaism is Godly and Non-violent, Zionism is non-godly and violent, Free Palestine". My respect to you all. Shame on USA and Israel for not voting for a ceasefire in the UN resolution, which shows how oblivious to human suffering, their leaders are.

[@haylesnyc87]

Absolutely!! I marched in London alongside many Jewish, and we were so proud and touched to see the hasidic Jews standing alongside us, they talked with marchers, seeing a hijabi talking with a hasidic Jewish man on humanity and bringing peace was a beautiful moment, above all we are humans and that common thread links us all. Any other differences are surface level, so inspired by these to keep marching keep demanding humanity and hopefully put an end to this madness once and for all!

I’m a Christian, but more fundamentally I am a human being and I can’t stand seeing innocent lives senselessly lost in this conflict.

[@melissadeloach8503]

That was beautifully said, except for one thing. Hamas has never honored any cease fire before. Why would they now? To call for a cease fire now is to say it's okay to launch an attack on partying civilians and commit whatever atrocity you can think of. The loss of innocent lives is heartbreaking. But you cannot be a Christian and wink at evil.

[@deb9784]

melissadeloach8503, it's about literally watching videos of families, children, and the elderly civilians being bombed and killed in Gaza. This is against international law. So is cutting off the electricity, water, food, and humanitarian aid to Gaza because they have been forced to be dependent. It's literally a genocide, a holocaust of over 7,000 people. For me to stand up, speak up for humanity is godly and stand up against oppression and injustice is mandatory.
