The Campus Occupation Crowd Comes to Congress
On October 8, 2023, more than 1,000 demonstrators assembled in New York City to celebrate the previous day's terror attack by Hamas. "The oppressed people of Palestine broke out of the open-air prison," one speaker declared. "The [Biden] White House is telling all of its mouthpieces to tell us a false story, but we know that the real terrorist is the Israeli state." The crowd chanted, "Resistance is justified when people are occupied," "Globalize the intifada," "Smash the settler Zionist state," and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
