US Jews protest Israel's war profiteering

“Stop profiting off genocide”: 200 arrested at Jewish Voice for Peace protest at New York Stock Exchange

(Democracy Now!) Oct. 15, 2024: “Stop profiting off genocide” is the slogan shouted toward Israeli Jews and Christian Zionists.

We stand with Gaza and peace!

Then 200 mostly Jews were arrested at this Jewish Voice for Peace (jvp.org) protest in front of the NYSE.

“There is nothing antisemitic about fighting for people’s right to live,” says Jewish Voice for Peace organizer Elena Stein, who on Monday joined hundreds of protesters arrested to block entrances to the New York Stock Exchange.

DN! discusses the historic mass protest, which called for a U.S. arms embargo against Israel and an end to war-profiteering by American corporations like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

Zionism (Western imperialism) is not Judaism. We refuse war criminals Netanyahu and Biden!

It's because I'm Jewish that I say NO to genocide

“We are filled with horror beyond words and are attempting to embody just an ounce of that refusal,” Stein says of the moral urgency of protesting Israel’s actions in the Middle East, which she describes as a “war of extermination…done with U.S. cover.”

She says JVP chose the stock exchange in order to draw attention to the role of U.S. financial and corporate interests in arming the Israeli military.
