Major rallies calling for a ceasefire in Gaza were held around the world this weekend. In Washington, D.C., organizers said as many as 400,000 people took part in a march on Saturday. The rally was held just two days after South Africa brought its historic genocide case against Israel to The Hague. Speakers at Saturday’s rally in Washington included independent presidential candidate Cornel West.
Cornel West: “And I say personally to Biden and company: You’re not just enabling. You’re not just facilitating. You’re not just coagulating and cooperating with the vicious crime of genocide. That makes you war criminals yourselves! You ought to be shamed. Who do you think we are? You think that you can suppress the love that we have for our Palestinian brothers and sisters? No, you got the wrong people.”
