PNN – Following the protest of a large crowd in the American city of Los Angeles, who demanded a ceasefire and the end of the Zionist regime’s war against the Gaza Strip, dozens of them were arrested by the police.
According to Pakistan News Network from the Hill website, the “If Not Now” organization, which calls for the end of US support for the Israeli regime, announced that it had organized a protest and called for a cease-fire in Gaza.
This group wrote on their X account: As Jews, we cannot sit by while the people of Gaza are killed in our name. As Americans, we cannot allow Joe Biden and Congress to send billions more in war crimes funding.

According to NBC Los Angeles, the protest took place on the 110 freeway in the center of this city. According to reports, the California Highway Patrol was also on the scene and said that 75 people were arrested during the protest.
Simultaneously with the continuation of the Zionist regime’s criminal attacks on Gaza, in the past days and weeks, all American cities witnessed protests against the genocide against the Palestinians, and the demonstrators demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
But the protests are not limited to the streets and protesters also appeared in the US Senate on Monday, and at the same time, one of the Democratic representatives of the state of Delaware interrupted the speech of Vice President Kamla Harris with a banner that read “ceasefire”.
The results of new polls show that the majority of Americans are against Biden’s approach to the Israeli army’s war against the Gaza Strip; More than 50 percent of 18- to 29-year-old voters oppose it, and some lawmakers, especially in key states like Michigan, have called for longer ceasefires.
