300 folks turning out for a well-publicized protest/demonstration in a county of 1.4 million (alongside a city of 10 million) is interesting. On the other hand, as we’ve seen at Columbia University and at some other spots, protests along these lines can get kind of messy (this one did not).
East Meadow rally seeks peace in Gaza
Chanting “free, free, free Palestine,” an estimated 300 people gathered in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow Saturday, calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and the withdrawal of the Israeli military from the region.
The rally was organized by social justice groups that came together under the umbrella of the PALI Coalition seeking to draw attention to the plight of Palestinians after Israel’s invasion last October in response to a terror attack on its border.
“We are here today because we want to continue what we've been doing on Long Island to organize and raise awareness about the genocide that's been ongoing for six months now, and we want to make it clear that we do not support our tax dollars or our politicians continuing to fund the genocide in Gaza,” organizer Nora Farouk, 30, said.
Thank god they were out there calling for an immediate cease fire.
Surely the 300 gathered in a park on LI will have a major influence and their calls for peace will be heard ending the conflict.
How violent was the group asking for peace in Gaza?

Why are all the protesters covering their faces with masks and scarves?
Covid is over.
What are they ashamed of?
