Palestinian Supporters Protest U.S. Policy in New York on Election Day
Palestinian supporters in New York organized a sizable demonstration on the day of the U.S. presidential contest, denouncing the posture of the American government on Palestine. The AP News Agency claims that despite strong police presence, the rally started Tuesday night in front of the Fox News office and carried on late into the evening gathering a sizable audience. Emphasizing that there was no difference between previous President Donald Trump's and current Vice President Kamala Harris's actions in backing Israel, the demonstrators, carrying Palestinian banners and burning Israeli flags, expressed strong criticism to U.S. policy. The protestors denounced what they said to be the United States' relentless support of the Israeli government, which they claimed to have been guilty of sponsoring crimes against Gaza Palestinians. The demonstrators also emphasized Israel's continuous activities in Gaza, where over 43,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—have been murdered in what they claim to be indiscriminate strikes. With almost 2.3 million people displaced inside Gaza, these attacks have resulted in a humanitarian disaster. Critics pointed out that Israel, supported by the United States, has carried on its military operations in defiance of many UN and International Court of Justice resolutions calling for a stop to the bloodshed. The march in New York shows mounting annoyance among Palestinians who view the United States as supporting what they consider to be the genocide in Gaza. These demonstrations serve as a reminder of the ongoing worldwide split over the Israeli-Palestinian problem as the American election marks a turning point for both home and foreign policies.
