Thousands Protest in Times Square Against Gaza Genocide

On Wednesday, January 1, 2025, thousands gathered in Times Square, NYC, to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The demonstration followed the shutdown of Kamal Adwan, the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza, after it was raided by Israeli forces.

In a powerful display of solidarity, a massive crowd came together on New Year’s Eve to denounce the unimaginable atrocities occurring in Gaza. Protesters called attention to the silence of the international community in the face of ongoing violence and injustice.

Speakers from various organizations addressed the gathering, delivering passionate speeches on the dire situation in Gaza. Among them was Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, who declared:
“Because we are human beings created by the Almighty, we cannot stand by and witness murder, genocide, and injustice. We cannot be silent.”

The protest also included a delegation of anti-Zionist Jewish activists who marched in solidarity, amplifying the call for justice and an end to the suffering in Gaza.

This event marked a powerful beginning urging the world to the new year, to take action and stand against oppression.
