American Jews demonstrated in front of the Statue of Liberty in New York in support of Palestine and condemned the crimes of the Zionist regime. According to Al Jazeera, hundreds of US Jewish activists peacefully occupied the Statue of Liberty in New York, demanding an end to Israeli bombing and genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip and a ceasefire. Participants in the Jewish Voices for Peace rally wore black T-shirts with slogans such as "Jews demand a ceasefire" and "Don't act in our name" and carried signs reading "The whole world is watching" and "Palestinians must be free." . Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and denounce US policies of supporting the Zionist regime. At the end of October, thousands of people also temporarily occupied Manhattan's Grand Central Station with the same demands. Although the number of Palestinian martyrs exceeded 10,000 and the number of wounded exceeded 24,000, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said: “You cannot look at the events in the Gaza Strip and say that these events meet the definition of genocide.” He said using the term “genocide” is “an irresponsible way to describe these events.” White House officials are ignoring Israel's barbaric crimes, while in many US cities people are demonstrating their support for the people of Gaza and their disgust at Israel's crimes through rallies and demonstrations.
