On June 6th, the 42nd anniversary of Israel's seizure of Gaza, a protest was held at the UN Plaza (7th and Market) in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Organized by the ANSWER Coalition, organization and individuals came to show support and to demand to end the siege of Gaza.

The world looked on in horror this past winter as Israel mercilessly starved and bombed the people of Gaza, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians, at least a third of whom were children. The Arab world now refers to the dark days from the end of December to mid-January as “the Gaza massacre.” Although the mainstream media no longer focuses on Gaza, the suffering continues there nonetheless. Using the pretext of combating terrorism, Israel has refused to allow even one truckload of cement into Gaza. As a result, a city that was reduced to rubble still lies in rubble today. Even now, people are still living in tents and are scarcely able to secure the necessities of life.
