Activists from San Francisco to New York Disrupt Business as Usual to Shine Light on Gaza Genocide
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., hundreds of activists partially shut down the
International Terminal of San Francisco International Airport Wednesday
to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and that the U.S. stop arming
Israel. Protesters blocked outside traffic and security check-in,
forcing SFO to close certain checkpoints and roadways. One traveler
stopped to thank the protesters for the disruption.

Patricia: "I am slightly inconvenienced, so my trip doesn't go exactly
as planned. But I still have a life. I can still live. I'm not dying.
I'm not starving. These people are starving."

Here in New York, activists successfully canceled a planned real estate
event in Brooklyn this week that sought to sell homes built on illegal
settlements in the occupied West Bank. This came just days after
hundreds of activists in New Jersey marched through the streets of
Teaneck on Sunday to protest a similar real estate fair as it was taking
place in a synagogue.
