There wasn’t a single slogan that can become the lasting image of this remarkable rally. The organizers did not pick any agenda other that that of peace, justice, and ceasefire.
However, it was a picturesque ocean of people with banners like Zionism is not Judaism, stop the genocide, stand up against apartheid, enforce BDS movement, Palestine will be free from river to sea, and many others.
The massive March for Palestinian on Saturday January 13th in Washington, D.C., was the largest rally with over 450,000 people from all over the USA and Canada attended.
Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Jill Stein (Jewish from Green Party) joined to demand a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war that has devastated Gaza for more than three months.
2024 presidential candidates Cornel West, political activist, called for a permanent ceasefire and said:
'We're marching for our Palestinian brothers and sisters… undergoing vicious genocidal assault, ugly ethnic cleansing, and living under apartheid-like conditions.’
He emphasized the need to put pressure on the Biden administration to follow the public’s moral compass and facilitate a permanent ceasefire.
Speaker after speakers condemn Biden and Nihad of CAIR said ‘No ceasefire, no votes’ while many protesters at the rally held signs with the message which read “Abandon Biden, and “Genocide Joe Got to Go.”
Many of the speakers spoke about the plight and the genocide of the Palestinians and asked to pray for safety of all Jews, and Palestinians.
One of them was Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink who said to the crowd. “Now, Biden is no longer the comforter-in-chief; he is known as ‘Genocide Joe.”
The Zionist occupying regime has cut off critical supplies and electricity to Gaza. Over 25,000 have been killed, half of them children and 80 percent of 2.2 million have been displaced.
According to UN report says: 80 per cent of all people in Gaza are facing deadly breakout of disease and catastrophic famine marking an unparalleled humanitarian crises amid Israel's continued bombardment and siege.
The rally provided evidence to the political clout and unity of the Muslims and other groups in the USA. However, the Anglo-Saxon Zionist imperialist media did not accurately cover the rally, and if they did, they placed the story somewhere in an obscure place in the paper.
The hypocrisy of the Zionist media was clearly shown by the live broadcast of the complete presentation of Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), while showing only sixty seconds clips of the South African presentation.
What hypocrisy!
Standing together, irrespective of religion, ethnicity and color is the terrifying moment for genocide Biden and the Zionist. This was a peaceful rally and not the Jan 6th insurrection.
Here’s what I saw with my own eyes!
It was not just Muslim and Palestinian-American groups marching but a big delegation from New York and Montreal of Neturei Karta, JVP carrying Palestinian flags and banners reading “Zionism is Not Judaism.”
Children of these groups as young as four years stood in bitter cold and wind chanting “from the river to sea Palestine will be free.”
However, according to Zionist media such as ADL Neturei Karta, JVP, and other groups are fringe movements or terror groups.
This was a beautiful, picturesque march for Palestinian right to exist, against apartheid, and to bring Biden, Netanyahu, Israeli Occupying Military Force (IOMF), and all responsible to justice.
The progressive groups from BLM to environmental groups to U.S Human Rights Watch to Israeli rights group like B’Tselem have determined that Netanyahu, Israeli officials, and the IOMF are guilty of the crime of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
The grassroots of younger generations, independents, BLM, and GenZers are now more aware of the evils of Zionism and supporting the BDS movement and dismantling of Netanyahu regime.
This group will be an important block in the November election and will determine if genocide Biden will be a onetime president.
