This source presents a statement from NYC Labor for Palestine following a ceasefire in Gaza, which they view as a significant victory for Palestinian resistance over the Zionist entity and U.S. Empire. The group expresses solidarity with the Palestinian people after a period of intense violence and emphasizes the ongoing urgency of confronting what they call U.S.-backed Israeli genocide. They reiterate their commitment to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and outline demands for unions and workplaces, including ending the siege on Gaza, halting U.S. military aid to Israel, and severing ties with Israeli labor organizations. The statement also criticizes the U.S. government, specifically the Biden administration, for its role in the conflict, and calls for workers to engage in resistance against the forces they believe support the occupation of Palestine.
