On Saturday, March 30, 2024, the 48th anniversary of the Palestinian Land Day, when the Israeli government In 1976 announced a plan to confiscate more Palestinian land for state purposes. Thousands gathered in Union Square in Manhattan, New York City to commemorate this day and thereby protest the current genocide in Gaza. After almost six months of witnessing the criminal genocide in Palestine carried out by Israel, the protest highlighted the targeted repression, imprisonment, and violence against Palestinian youth and students. Among the protesters was a delegation of Jewish rabbis who, due to the Jewish restrictions of Shabbat, walked a long way to participate in the protest.
