NEW YORK: Condemnation of Israeli air strikes and its blockade of Gaza continued the world over, but the Zionist state seems not ready to move back an inch from its bombardment of civilian population.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets in New York City today. The protesters assembled near Times Square in Manhattan, demanding Palestinian independence and decrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as his government intensified its strikes on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the wave of surprise attacks in Israel by Hamas.
The protesters chanted such slogans as “Free Palestine,” and “Netanyahu, what do you say? How many kids have you killed today?”
The rally came as police in New York and other U.S. cities said they were escalating patrols around synagogues, mosques and other Jewish and Muslim institutions, though authorities insisted they were unaware of any specific or credible threats.
