US anti-Israel groups hail victory for ‘resistance’ in Gaza
Luke Tress is The Times of Israel's New York correspondent.
American anti-Israel groups hail the Gaza ceasefire as a victory for the Palestinian “resistance.”
Within Our Lifetime, a hardline anti-Israel group in New York, says, “Resistance has won.”
“Imperialism and Zionism has lost, the Democratic party has lost, the future of the Zionist state continues to be eroded,” group leader Nerdeen Kiswani says in a statement.
The Palestinian Youth Movement in New York announces a rally in Times Square tomorrow. “Palestinians in Gaza have not only survived, but shown the world that they will continue to rise until liberation,” it says.
National Students for Justice in Palestine calls the agreement “a step forward on the long, arduous path to Palestine’s inevitable victory.”
“The people of Gaza chose to resist,” NSJP says.
Columbia University’s coalition of anti-Israel groups posts a message saying, “Glory to our martyrs, glory to our people, glory to our fighters.”
“This victory is Gaza’s alone, we must fight and escalate,” the group says.
The People’s Forum, a socialist anti-Israel group in New York, hails “a victory for the Palestinian people and the global struggle for liberation.”
“The struggle against imperialism and Zionism has advanced,” the group says. “A new phase in the struggle begins now.”
