Dressed uniformly in black, the protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace gathered on the pedestal shortly before 1 p.m. when they dropped massive banners with calls for a cease-fire and other slogans, such as “The Whole World Is Watching” and “Never Again for Anyone.” The group sang “Cease-fire now” and occupied the national monument for about 20 minutes before dispersing. The protest, which the group said included more than 500 people, continued on a ferry headed back to Manhattan.

    A cease fire just means more dead Israelis. At least according to the Palestinians the other day when interviewed. The leadership is openly saying they intend on doing 10/7 style attacks again and again…so what country could possibly go ahead with a ceasefire?

      I think you mean to say Hamas, who are not supported by the majority of Palestinians.

      A cease fire means no more dead anyone. A lack of a cease fire means you just want more dead Palestinians.

      Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself without committing genocide

        On 6/10 there was a cease fire - that didn’t prevent Israelis from being slaughtered. Hamas showed no* indication of stopping their massacares. In fact, they did the opposite - they only talk about how glad they are with the massacare and how they intend to do that again.

        Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself without comitting genocide

        Then what was the 7/10 attack? Even with oppressing the region they can’t defend against such terror acts without their air force.
