“Jews say: No more”: Leftist Jewish groups to protest Gaza war near Trump Hotel in NYC

A coalition of leftist Jewish organizations is staging a protest at Columbus Circle in Manhattan this evening, directly across from the Trump International Hotel, to demand the Trump administration pressure “Israel” to halt the Gaza war and significantly increase humanitarian aid to the Strip.

The demonstration, titled "Jews Say: No More," will begin at 6:30 PM local time.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, the city's highest-ranking Jewish elected official, is among the scheduled speakers. Organizers, including T'ruah, Jews for Economic and Racial Justice, IfNotNow, and Israelis for Peace, stated the urgent need to "get more food and aid into Gaza NOW before more Palestinians die of starvation".

They criticize the US government's "continued support for the policy of starvation".

The protest highlights the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where over 40% of pregnant and breastfeeding women treated in Save the Children clinics in July were malnourished, and a famine scenario is unfolding.
