Palestinian Rights Groups Criticize Schumer, Gillibrand on Naksa Anniversary

On June 5, 1967, as part of the 6 Day War, Israel displaced more than 300,000 Palestinians in what is know as Naksa. The Palestinian Rights Committee and others rallied on Friday outside the federal O’Brien Building to protest Senators Schumer and Gillibrand’s support for the ongoing genocide by Israel, even as many other Senate Democrats have voted against continuing to send weapons and funds to Israel. We hear from Eyad Alkurabi of the Palestinian Rights Committee, retired Union professor Daniel Mosquera, and Mark Mishler of Jewish Voice for Peace. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
