Protests Pressure Netanyahu in Washington and at the UN

When Prime Minister Netanyahu came to the US, first to speak at the UN in New York and then to meet with President Trump in Washington, we were there to greet him. We are all too aware of the human cost of the ongoing Gaza war—the tens of thousands killed in Gaza, the hostages languishing in captivity.

That's why, alongside our colleagues at New Israel Fund, T'ruah (the Rabbinic Call for Human Rights), NYJA, Partners for Progressive Israel, and Friends of Standing Together, we stood outside of the UN in New York and outside of Blair House in DC to silently line the street, holding up photos of children killed in Gaza and of the hostages.
