‘Biden, you can’t hide’: Tens of thousands march in US for Gaza ceasefire

Al Jazeera  

Washington, DC – Tens of thousands of people have gathered in the United States capital to demand a ceasefire in Gaza as Washington continues to resist calls for an end to the war despite the mounting death toll. United Nations experts have warned of a growing risk of genocide in Gaza amid Israel’s relentless bombardment of the enclave, which was launched in response to Hamas’s October 7 attacks on southern Israeli communities. The UN’s Genocide Convention defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”, including killings and measures to prevent births. We are all human beings.” Eisha Raja, Pakistani-American activist Raja dismissed a newly announced push by the Biden administration to battle Islamophobia in the US as a “despicable” effort to distract from Washington’s policies in Gaza. We don’t want to be supporting genocide – blood on our hands.” Maria Habib, Lebanese-American demonstrator Habib, who was dressed in a traditional Palestinian dress known as thobe, said she is having a difficult time coping with the war and the graphic images of the atrocities in Gaza.
