Washington, August 2 (RHC)-- Protests are taking place around the world today to call on Israel to stop its war of aggression against Gaza. In the U.S. capital, thousands of protesters are marching on the White House to demand an end to U.S. support of the Tel Aviv regime.
Earlier this week, in New York City, a group of demonstrators blocked traffic by laying down in the streets outside Israel’s Mission to the United Nations. Twenty-six people were arrested after refusing police orders to disperse.
The act of civil disobedience came after nine Jewish peace activists were arrested while protesting the Israeli assault outside the office of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. The group of mostly young activists are calling themselves "If Not Now, When?"
In Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington, peace activists staged a "die-in" outside the headquarters of Boeing, which manufactures weapons supplied to the Israeli military.
