Hundreds of Jews and Allies Hold Peace Sit-In at Statue of Liberty

On Nov. 6, Jewish Voice for Peace and hundreds of Jews and allies held an “emergency sit-in at the Statue of Liberty, taking over the island to demand a ceasefire in Gaza,” they reported on the X platform. “We refuse to allow a genocide to be carried out in our names. Ceasefire now to save lives! Never again for anyone!” “Our grief is being used to justify genocidal violence against the people of Gaza. It has to stop. 10,000 dead. We NEED a #CeasefireNOW.”
