Unprecedented Number of American Jews Protesting Israeli War on Gaza
In the last three months of 2023, the United States witnessed historic pro-Palestine and anti-Zionism protests in response to Israel's brutal war on besieged Gaza that has left more than 20,000 Palestinians dead in just 76 days — meaning the Israeli regime wiped out about 1% of Gaza's pre-war population.
The intensity of these protests was huge in many states, including California, New York and the capital, Washington DC, and many were organized by Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now to demand ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and final settlement to the conflict arising from Israel's decades-old occupation of Palestinian lands.
Activists, Christians, Muslims and Jews, have been at the forefront of these protests, including the Neturei Karta Jews — a group of Orthodox Jews who outright oppose the state of Israel and Zionism and show full support to Palestine.
According to prominent American Imam Omar Suleiman, the unprecedented number of American Jews protesting Israel's war on Gaza also tore apart the anti-Semitism narrative that is often used to target those denouncing Israel's policy against Palestinian people.
