Over 200 Arrested in Jewish-Led Protest Against U.S. Support for Israel at NY Stock Exchange

Protesters, including artists Nan Goldin and Molly Crabapple, demand an end to U.S. arms support amid ongoing Israeli military actions in Gaza and Lebanon.

The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, saw around 500 demonstrators gather outside the New York Stock Exchange to decry U.S. support for Israel's military operations.
Participants wore red shirts with messages like 'Not In Our Name' and 'Stop Arming Israel,' and some chained themselves to the stock exchange's gates.
The demonstration coincided with the anniversary of Hamas's attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent military campaign, which has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties.
Protesters criticized American defense contractors for profiting from the conflict and called for an arms embargo on Israel.
Activists emphasized their opposition to the U.S. government's use of Jewish safety as justification for military support, citing historical lessons against being bystanders to injustice.
