“Your brother's blood calls out from the ground" (Genesis 4:10)
When Prime Minister Netanyahu comes to NYC, American Jews and Israeli Americans will be there to send a clear message: Netanyahu has blood on his hands, and he is not welcome in our city.
Netanyahu ignored the warnings before October 7, abandoned the hostages, and has overseen the destruction of Gaza and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. He and his government bear responsibility for the terror of settler militias, forced expulsions, home demolitions, and settlement expansion in the West Bank. He enabled the funding of Hamas, diverted resources from the Gaza envelope to serve the settler agenda, and has pursued a forever war that produces only more death and destruction.
Peace and justice are possible – Netanyahu and his coalition of fascists, felons, and fundamentalists are the disaster standing in the way. We’re not just protesting the disaster that has been Netanyahu’s leadership; we are also protesting the horrific policies that he has pushed forward and enabled.
We are here to say: this must stop. We call for an immediate, permanent end to the war, real accountability for those responsible for war crimes, and a future of justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
