Veterans End 40-Day Fast with Protest Demanding U.S. Stop Arming Israel

HeadlineJul 01, 2025

Here in New York, police arrested at least 28 people Monday as they ended a 40-day fast outside the United States Mission to the United Nations by escalating their protest. Among those arrested was former Navy corpsman and Veterans for Peace organizer Mike Ferner, who poured animal blood on the mission’s entrance to condemn U.S. support for Israel’s military. 

Mike Ferner: “Here, United States, have some blood! You like shedding it all over the world so much? There you go! How about some blood?”
