Massive March 2 Global Day of Protest Demands End to U.S.-Israeli
Genocide
Massive numbers of people turned out for actions across the United
States and around the world yesterday to shut it down for Palestine!
The Hands Off Rafah global day of protest came at a moment of extreme
danger, as Israel’s deadline to launch the most brutal phase of its
onslaught yet looms on March 10. The strong turnout was a clear signal
to Biden that the people of this country and all of humanity reject
his administration’s genocidal policies.

Impressive turnout across the United States was testament to the
sustained nature of the mass movement in solidarity with Palestine
that has emerged since October. 50,000 marched in New York City,
15,000 in San Francisco, and many thousands more in mass actions in
Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Seattle, and many others. The Washington
DC action took place at the same location — the Israeli embassy —
where Aaron Bushnell heroically carried out a self-immolation protest.
Over 120 cities participated in total in response to the Shut It Down
for Palestine movement’s call to action.

Yesterday’s day of action was truly global. Actions took place in
Japan, Malaysia, Cuba, Venezuela, Tunisia and many other nations
around the world. In Havana and Caracas, top leaders of the government
attended in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people’s
longstanding fight for liberation.

In the United States, protesters engaged in actions to disrupt
activities featuring prominent genocide apologists. In Tucson,
Arizona, Shut It Down for Palestine activists disrupted a speech by
Jill Biden. Protesters marched in response to a speech by Kamala
Harris in Durham, North Carolina.

The brutality of the US-Israeli war is indescribable. Mass
starvation is being used as a weapon, and Israeli troops are gunning
down hungry Palestinians desperately looking for food. Now, Israel
says on March 10 it will invade the last remaining pocket of Gaza
where the majority of the region’s residents have been forced to flee
— Rafah. But the mobilization of the people of the world can place
powerful pressure of the US-Israeli war machine and end the
genocide!
