Reel by The Guardian US
The Guardian US@guardian_us As Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to deliver his speech at the UN general assembly on Thursday, dozens of delegates walked out in protest. Netanyahu’s appearance at the UN headquarters in New York City comes after the city’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, called him a war criminal. Meanwhile, supporters of Palestine have taken to New York’s streets. Several hundred protesters gathered near the UN in Manhattan on Thursday with dozens blocking traffic and chanting: “Stop arming Israel, let Gaza live” and “Stop arming Israel, let Iran live.” Follow the link in bio for the latest updates.

@inadebrun Bravo! #freepalestine and the world from this insane brutal murderous ideology and the unscrupulous powers that enable it. 🍉🕊️🇵🇸 Nous devrions tous avoir HONTE de vivre dans un monde qui permet ce qui se passe à Gaza au Liban et en Cisjordanie. 🍉🕊️🇵🇸
@stiofan.artist Free Palestine 🇵🇸 #arrestnetanyahu
@jeremy.chaudon 👏👏👏👏
@risvolto.it The other side of the story is in the empty seats. In a place created to hold irreconcilable positions together, even walking out becomes a statement. The question is what happens when dissent no longer seeks an answer, but distance.
@instamozzie 👏👏👏👏
@psthe_k_ And Israelis, officials, soldiers, and even some artists have publicly expressed views calling for more killing, for the killing of Palestinians more broadly. Remember the April 2024 poll in which 34% of Israeli adults said their military had "not gone far enough." [Note: between October 2023 and April 2024, Israel slaughtered over 34,000 Palestinians. Still not enough!] Just yesterday, we watched a video of a 17-year-old saying that even babies in Gaza must be killed. It's all there.
@psthe_k_ Get that monster out of the UN

@hanano480 I am Hanan, and I care for my orphaned children. I created a fundraising link. Could you please help us, even with a small amount, so I can provide blankets for the children now that winter has arrived? We were displaced because we live near the Yellow Line, and my children desperately need warmth and protection from the cold. https://chuffed.org/project/200875-hanan-need-help-in-gaza
