LGBTQ Muslims Call for Permanent Ceasefire in Front of Stonewall

One-hundred LGBTQ Muslims gathered for a jummah prayer for Palestine in front of the Stonewall National Monument on Friday to demonstrate that there is “no pride in genocide.” “Queer Muslim New Yorkers are rising up in solidarity with Palestinians, and through a queer Muslim-led interfaith prayer, they will stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are facing genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Israeli government backed by the United States,” organizers said in a statement. “Queer communities face historical discrimination, prejudice, violence, criminalization, lack of proper healthcare and/or gender affirming care, and more — and here in the U.S. queer activists have been rising up against increased LGBTQ+ attacks, yet their struggles are being exploited in a dangerous narrative war to suggest that there would be no place for queer people in Palestine,”

Nationwide there are emergency protests to decry the slaughter of innocent civilians in Rafah last night.

In NYC protesters are marching in the streets against police orders. The crowds are so big the cops are making arrests but it has done little to slow tonights demo.

"Pro-Palestinian protesters briefly blocked entrance roads to airports in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday [December 27, 2023], snarling traffic as U.S. airlines contended with a rush of holiday travel.

The demonstrations stopped cars on the outskirts of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, where some travelers set off on foot to bypass the jammed roadway, as well as Los Angeles International Airport. A total of 62 people were arrested during the two protests, police said.

In New York, activists locked arms and held banners demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and expanded rights for Palestinians, bringing traffic to a standstill on the Van Wyck Expressway leading up to the airport for about 20 minutes.

Video posted to social media showed passengers, some carrying suitcases, leaving vehicles behind and stepping over barriers onto the highway median.

Twenty-six people in the protest were arrested for disorderly conduct and impeding vehicular traffic, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey dispatched two buses to help travelers caught in the backup reach the airport, agency spokesperson Steve Burns said.

Around the same time as the New York protest, a major thoroughfare leading to the Los Angeles airport was shut down by another group of pro-Palestinian protesters, who dragged traffic cones, trash bins, scooters and debris into the lanes, according to news helicopter footage.

In a statement, the Los Angeles Police Department accused protesters of throwing a police officer to the ground and “attacking uninvolved passerbys in their vehicles,” without providing further details about either incident.

The group appeared to flee when police arrived, though the Los Angeles Police Department said traffic around the airport remained impacted roughly two hours after the demonstration was declared unlawful.

A spokesperson for the LAPD said 35 people were arrested for rioting and one person was arrested for battery of a police officer. No officers were injured, according to the spokesperson. An estimated 215,000 passengers and 87,000 vehicles were expected to pass through the Los Angeles airport on Wednesday.

Since the Israel-Hamas war erupted on Oct. 7, near nightly protests have broken out in cities across the United States. In New York, pro-Palestinian organizers have responded to the growing death toll in Gaza with escalating actions aimed at disrupting some of the city’s best-known events, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the annual tree-lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center."

When legendary performer Josephine Baker and her party were refused food service at the Stork Club on October 16, 1951, the NAACP organized a picket line in front of the chic night spot. Seen on October 22 are Bessie Buchanan, Baker's personal secretary; Laura Z. Hobson, author of "Gentleman's Agreement, a novel about anti-Semitism; and Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP.

PROTESTERS STORM THE NEW YORK TIMES TO PROTEST BIASED COVERAGE OF ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE IN GAZA

📹 Scenes from protesters who stormed the offices of the New York Times in Manhattan, New York City, to protest the "paper of record" for the United States, whose biased coverage of Israel's war of genocide in the Gaza Strip has heavily favored the Zionist entity.

Early on in the genocide, the New York Times published false rape allegations against the Hamas resistance movement that supposedly used sexual violence against Israeli hostages.

Not only did the story turn out to be misinformation, but the writer of the article turned out to be an "ex" Israeli intelligence agent who had never worked in journalism previously.

There's going to be mass mu rder in iran the moment our president is back from the united nations conference and we won't have access to internet to connect with each other and get reports on what's happening to protesters. My friends are on the streets, I hope I won't loose people I love the most. It's important to be our voice when we won't have a voice.
