On Friday December 27th, the Zionist forces forcibly evacuated more than 400 Palestinian patients, doctors, and medical professionals from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. They then lit the hospital on fire, destroying northern Gaza’s last fully functional medical center and continuing the over 3 month long campaign of total ethnic cleansing of north Gaza. Evacuated Palestinians were directed to the nearby Indonesian Hospital which suffers from a lack of water, food, and necessary medical supplies due to previous Zionist destruction of its infrastructure. Prior to this, reports and pictures show that Palestinian men who had been in Kamal Adwan were stripped to their underwear and forced to wait in the cold for several hours in a sickening attempt to humiliate and punish them for refusing to abandon the hospital. Many are believed to have been arrested, among them prominent physician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Husam Abu Safiya. The attacks on Kamal Adwan come one day after Israel assassinated 5 journalists as they worked out of a clearly marked press van. Among them was Ayman Al-Jidy, who’s first child was born a mere hours after his martyrdom. Since October 7th, Israel has martyred more than 197 journalists.

Israeli’s actions in Kamal Adwan, against journalists, and throughout all of Gaza and the region indicate it intends to spend 2025 the way it spent 2024: committing a horrific genocide and attempting to draw a New Middle East with the blood of the regions’ people. The United States and Israel’s intensified bombings against Yemen, threats against the country’s leadership, and renewed intransigence in ceasefire negotiations show that the entire US ruling class is expanding America’s war against the people of the region despite repeated promises to end it.

On December 31st, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers will gather with friends and family to commemorate 2024. They will ride subways and fill bus cars. Crowds will form in all of the city’s central areas. We must seize this opportunity to expose the US ruling class’ role in the genocide of the Palestinian people by doing outreach and getting these thousands of people organized to come to the January 20th protest at 2pm at Washington Square Park.

For the doctors, nurses and patients of Kamal Adwan, we must make sure that there is train outreach on every line of the MTA on Dec 31st. For Anas Al-Jidy and all martyred journalists, we will need speak-outs in central Brooklyn, Western Queens, and Northern Manhattan. We must mark 2024 as a year of Zionist genocide and Palestinian resistance.
NEW YORK: ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE ON NEW YEAR'S DAY

📍Times Square, 43rd St & Broadway
🕒 3 PM

On this New Year’s Day we declare that there is nothing new in the US while the same genocide takes place in Palestine. There can be no new beginnings when our people are being ethnically cleansed, terrorized, and tortured under the sound of US-funded drones and bombs. 

Until liberation and return🇵🇸

Through your support, the Middle East Children’s Alliance has installed a new water purification plant in the besieged Gaza City, expected to distribute over 2,000 gallons of water today.

The more than 1.4 million dollars raised by the campaign “Strengthening Steadfastness: the People Stand with Gaza” has made this possible and shown the world that the masses have not and will never abandon Palestine.

Our grassroots fundraising efforts are not just donations. They are a political act, a declaration of defiance against a system designed to erase Palestine and demoralize those who fight for it.

Check out this post with more details on how your support has helped those affected on the ground: https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnvYcMvQ6r/
GAZA WILL RISE: After 465 days of genocide, Palestinians in Gaza have not only survived, but shown the world that they will continue to rise until liberation. With the announcement of a ceasefire, the long road ahead will be one of return and rebuilding, holding Zionists and war criminals to account, and continuing to drive the struggle for liberation forward.

Join us on Thursday, January 16 at Times Square (43rd St & Broadway) at 6 PM as we stand with Palestinians in Gaza, demand accountability for Zionist and imperialist war criminals and all their accomplices, and recommit ourselves to the struggle and the long road ahead. Bring Palestinian flags, kuffiyehs, and your voices. We’ll see you in the streets.

TODAY, on Inauguration Day, join us in NYC at Washington Square Park at 1pm.

Trump, Musk, and their billionaire friends' real agenda is to destroy worker's rights, deport millions of immigrant families, and pave the way for a complete corporate capitalist takeover by ending regulations to protect the environment, firing thousands of public sector workers, and transferring ever-larger parts of the National Treasury to the military industrial complex. Just like Biden, Trump is 100% behind Netanyahu's genocidal war against the Palestinian and Arab people.

But we can defeat the destructive program of the Trump administration. Not by following the Democratic Party establishment, but by building a massive movement against the ruling class and the political system that gives everything to billionaires while impoverishing an ever larger section of the population.

This fight starts right now. Join us in NYC!

TODAY: GLORY TO OUR MARTYRS:

🗓️ TODAY, Sunday January 26
6 pm
📍 Leif Ericson Park, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (5th Ave and 67th Street)

Join us TODAY for a community gathering, prayer, & dua to honor the martyrs of Gaza and Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn at Leif Ericson Park (5th Ave and 67th Street).

After nearly 500 days of an unending assault on our land and our people, and with the martyrdom of an estimated hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, we come together in rage and grief to mourn those whose lives were taken by the Zionist entity while remaining steadfast on their land. As the ceasefire takes effect and we can celebrate the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, we also finally have a chance to properly honor our martyrs in Gaza who sacrificed for all of Palestine. Our martyrs are the heart of our struggle, and we remember them and keep them close as our fight towards liberation continues.

Glory to our martyrs.

🚨TODAY🚨

HANDS OFF PALESTINE: This past week president Trump announced his intent to ethnically cleanse 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, claiming he will turn it into a “US owned” real estate development. At the same time, in a terror campaign, the IOF has continued its brutal assault on the West Bank.

It is clear that Israel and the US are intent on continuing their campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing in Palestine - we will not stand by in silence!

Join us today at 6 pm to stand with Palestine, assert that Gaza is not for sale, and demand an end to Zionist and imperialist terror.
