Strike outside White House in support of peace in Palestine

Tehran, IRNA – Leftwing activists including the actor Cynthia Nixon have started a five-day hunger strike outside the US White House aiming at “pressing [the US President] Joe Biden into demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” a British daily newspaper reported.

The pro-Palestinian activists were arranged to strongly condemn the US president and senior officials in his administration, according to The Guardian’s Tuesday report.

They lambasted the Biden administration for enabling a bombardment and ground invasion that has killed nearly 15,000 people, including more than 6,000 children, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

“It’s President Biden’s actions that are leading to the bombing of Palestinians, the starving of Palestinians. So we are starving ourselves to make visible what is so often erased, which is the Palestinian experience.” Guardian has quoted Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic representative from New York, as saying.

"It is the latest in a series of protests by leftist groups (some of them Jewish) outside the grounds of the White House and Congress in which demonstrators have accused Israel of perpetrating “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza. The groups have also criticised the Biden administration for inaction at best and lending outright support at worst."
