After ten days of Israeli massacres in Lebanon and as the genocide in Gaza nears its first year, pro-Palestine protesters organized an emergency protest and flooded the streets of New York City to call for an end to the bloodshed and occupation.
Mere hours after the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, took over the world podium at the United Nations General Assembly last week to cry wolf, he was given space and time to put in an order to assassinate Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
The United Nations is just a few blocks away, the exact location from where Netanyahu, the war criminal Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, authorized a strike on the southern suburb of Beirut, which immediately incinerated six entire apartment buildings with hundreds of civilians who were immediately evaporated by American-made bombs.

The United Nation's complicity in the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is clear.
Netanyahu, whom the International Court of Justice is contemplating an arrest warrant for, was given the green light to justify to world leaders at the UNGA the murder of civilians and the theft and destruction of homes.
The terrorist act of Israel on the state of Lebanon and eliminating our beloved Hassan Nasrallah, we highly condemn it.
We are all here with our family and friends to condemn this terrorist and cowardly act.

The US remains adamant about not having been notified by Israel about the airstrikes it conducted last week, but doesn't spare a moment to praise the massacres the next day.
No matter what, we're going to keep coming out to the streets, standing with Gaza, standing with the people of Lebanon.

The people of New York took to the streets and marched to the New York Times building in order to protest the aggression on Lebanon and the genocide in Gaza as well as to demonstrate against Western media disinformation, which is further enabling the aggression, genocide and the massacre of the innocent people of Palestine and Lebanon.
