Bibi just arrived in New York.

Join us tomorrow at the UN to haunt him--in silence.

Tomorrow morning, 8:30 am. NYC.

New Jewish Narrative @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social · 18d

Wherever he goes, Netanyahu should be haunted by the faces of civilians killed in Gaza and the hostages he abandoned. When he speaks at the UN on Friday 9/26, we will be there to silently hold up photos of the innocents whose blood is on his hands.

If you’ll be in NYC, join us.
