Hundreds of protesters have filled the main concourse of New York City’s famed Grand Central Terminal to demand a cease-fire as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

    Putting Jewish people into buses for protesting… Damn America, could you at least try to keep the mask on?

    It’s interesting how everyone just forgot about 200 hostages, still held by Hamas, including US citizens by the way.

    I’d like to know what those protesters would say to the families of the hostages.

          Hamas wants Israel to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians in Gaza in exchange… Sounds perfectly reasonable to me idk

        So you think if we all ask nicely, terrorists just let hostages free. Did I understand your point correctly?

          Your usage of the word “terrorists” is misdirected. The real terrorists are the Israel Nazis that are Pro apartheid and have been blanket bombing innocent civilians for over two weeks (in the case if the current situation). Over 7000 dead, almost half of them children. Displacing millions, rounding millions up to a safe area and then bombing them. Disgusting.

            Makes more sense to call the Muslims that have been trying to genocide the Jews in Isreal the past 60 years Nazis.

            Don’t want bombed? Don’t align yourself with terrorists while trying to genocide your neighbor.

      I don’t see anyone holding up signs celebrating those hostages. Hostages who Israel also refused to take back. And it’s funny how nobody is talking about thousands of Palestinians who have been taken and jailed by Israel on bullshit charges.

      Nobody is celebrating the hostages. It’s just an emotional abuse card people pull up when Israel’s genocidal tactics get pointed out. And then we suddenly feel bad for hostages. Thousands of dispalced, kidnapped and killed people on Palestinian side don’t get the same treatment.
