As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly on September 26, thousands of protesters gathered just blocks from the UN headquarters in New York and marched toward the building. Protesters are condemning the U.S. government's continued military support for Israel, claiming it has exacerbated the crisis. The relentless bombings have left countless civilians homeless, while famine and disease spread. Protesters accuse the U.S. government of complicity in the genocide unfolding in Gaza.
