Very good interview of Bashir Abu-Manneh and Hoda Mitwally. (PS—the quote in Eric's post is by Hoda, whose wisdom I and many other fellow @socialistmajority.com comrades often rely for guidance on how best to participate as people in the US in the struggle for Palestinians' survival and liberation.)

This sit-in at Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand's offices is necessary because the ongoing unconditional support by Congress is what enables the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to continue.

Let aid in. No arms for Israel. End the genocide.
