NEW YORK — According to organizers from the Jewish Voice for
Peace, an anti-Zionist group, hundreds of people were arrested, with at least
200 arrests on Friday in New York when police disbanded a large demonstration.

over two decades.

Located at NYC's Grand Central Station, thousands of Jewish
people and allies participated in an emergency sit-in, demanding a ceasefire in
Gaza. They wore black shirts that said "ceasefire now, Jews say
ceasefire."
According to the JVP website, the organization has been
demanding a ceasefire and calling on U.S. President Joe Biden to:
1. Demand an immediate halt to the Israeli government's
bombing of Gaza.
2. Allow all life-saving humanitarian needs to enter Gaza,
including water, fuel, food, and medicine.
3. Initiate direct negotiations for Israeli hostages.
Meanwhile, they added, "Israeli bombardment and the
siege of Gaza have wiped out entire families, leaving only one or two survivors
to carry the memory of generations." They emphasized, "There is no
military solution. We demand no more grieving families and an immediate
ceasefire to save lives."
The demonstration comes as tensions escalate, with Gaza
experiencing a complete blackout and Israeli bombardment continuing into
Saturday.
