Yet President\u200b Biden\u2062 has still\u200d pledged an\u2064 additional $14.1 billion in military \u200dfunding to\u2062 Israel,\u201d the group posted on X.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Biden has pressed Congress for months\u200b to send additional foreign aid to Israel, supporting $14 billion to go to \u2063Israel and U.S. interests\u2063 in \u200bthe region as part of a $95 billion foreign aid bill.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>U.N. experts warned in November about a\u2064 growing \u200crisk \u2063of genocide, while the International Court of Justice in January called on Israel to \u2064\u201ctake all measures within its\u2063 power\u201d to prevent genocidal acts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe situation in \u200cGaza has\u2063 reached a catastrophic tipping point,\u201d the U.N. experts said about a month after Hamas attacked \u200dIsrael on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Around 1,200 people were killed,\u2062 and some 240 hostages were\u2064 taken in that attack, according to the \u2064Israeli \u2062government. Since \u2062Israel\u2019s\u200c response, at least 29,782 people\u200c have been killed as\u2063 of Monday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry in \u2063the Hamas-run territory.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s unwavering \u2063support of Israel \u2064could affect \u2062his 2024 reelection chances; multiple polls show \u200ca vast majority of Democratic voters\u200d support a\u200d ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Jewish Voice For Peace has organized dozens of protests across the\u2063 nation calling for a ceasefire \u2062in Gaza \u200cand denouncing Biden\u2019s policies.\u200b On Thursday, the group protested in front of \u2064the headquarters for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Midtown Manhattan; the pro-Israel lobbying group has contributed millions in\u200c donations to lawmakers in Congress.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062 What impact are these protests and movements having on U.S. \u200dforeign policy towards Israel<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Stop Enabling \u2062Genocide&#8221; and &#8220;Biden&#8217;s Silence \u2062is Violence,&#8221; while chanting slogans such as &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; and &#8220;End Apartheid Now.&#8221; The protest,\u2063 organized by a\u2062 coalition of Jewish New Yorkers and solidarity groups, \u200caimed to draw \u200battention to the ongoing \u2062violence and human rights\u2063 abuses \u2062in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n<p>As President Biden prepares to\u2062 address the nation, these activists want\u2064 to remind him that his\u200b administration&#8217;s support for Israel&#8217;s\u200c actions \u200dis\u2063 complicit in the continued suffering of the Palestinian\u200b people. They argue that\u200d by providing military aid and diplomatic backing to Israel, the United States\u2064 enables the Israeli government \u200cto carry\u200d out its systematic discrimination and oppression against Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Many\u2062 American Jews, who have historically been strong supporters of Israel, are now\u2063 growing disillusioned \u2063with the \u200bcountry&#8217;s policies. They believe \u200cthat the Israeli government&#8217;s treatment of Palestinians goes against the values of \u200cjustice and equality that are central to Jewish \u200cteachings. These protesters argue that it\u200c is not anti-Semitic to criticize Israel&#8217;s actions; rather,\u2062 it is a moral obligation to speak \u2064out against injustice.<\/p>\n<p>The protest took place in the heart of Manhattan, outside 30 Rockefeller Center, where \u2063President Biden was scheduled to appear on Late Night with\u200d Seth Meyers. Activists intentionally\u200b chose this \u200clocation to attract attention and send \u200ca\u200c powerful message. They want\u2062 President Biden\u2064 and the \u200bAmerican public to be aware that their voices will not be \u2062silenced, \u2064and they demand a change in U.S. foreign \u200dpolicy towards Israel.<\/p>\n<p>As the protest unfolded, tensions\u2064 escalated, and clashes with law enforcement resulted \u200din the arrest of hundreds of demonstrators.\u2062 Reports indicate that the New York Police Department (NYPD) utilized force to disperse the \u2063crowd, leading \u2062to injuries among protesters. \u2062The \u200darrests have drawn criticism from civil \u2062rights groups and\u2062 advocates for free speech, who argue that peaceful protest is a fundamental right and should be \u200crespected.<\/p>\n<p>This demonstration in Manhattan is just\u200b one of many \u2063similar protests taking place across the country. Since the recent\u200d escalation of \u2062violence between Israel and\u200c Hamas, the issue of Palestinian rights has\u2062 gained increased attention and urgency. Activists and grassroots organizations are \u2063mobilizing to demand changes\u200d in U.S. policy and \u200cadvocating \u2062for an end \u200cto the Israeli occupation.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s administration has faced \u2064mounting\u2064 pressure \u200bto take \u2062a more active role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many\u200d believe \u200dthat the \u200dU.S. \u2063government, as a close \u200cally of Israel, has a\u2064 moral responsibility\u2062 to use its influence \u200dto promote\u2063 peace and \u2063protect \u200bthe rights of\u2062 all people in the region.<\/p>\n<p>While the \u200croad to\u2064 a just and \u200clasting \u2062peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex,\u2063 protests like the one in Manhattan \u200dserve as a reminder that\u2062 the voices\u200c of those affected\u200b must be\u200d heard.\u2062 As more people\u2063 question the unquestionable support for Israel, it\u200d is crucial to \u200bhave open discussions and prioritize \u2062human rights over political expediency.<\/p>\n<p>Protesters in Manhattan \u200dsent a clear message to President Biden: the time for \u2062change \u2062is now. The hope is that the rally will spark dialogue, raise awareness, \u2063and ultimately \u200blead \u2063to a\u2064 more just and equitable\u200c resolution to \u200bthe conflict.<\/p>\n<p>In the end,\u2062 it is up to the American people and \u200ctheir elected representatives to \u200cdemand accountability and work towards\u200b a solution that\u2062 respects the\u200d rights\u200d and dignity of all those\u2063 affected by this long-standing conflict. Only through collective actions can we hope to\u2063 see a future in which \u2063peace and \u2062justice prevail\u2062 in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protesters in Manhattan accused President Biden of enabling Palestinian genocide, gathering before his interview on NBC&#8217;s Late Night with Seth Meyers.
