“We want the hostages released. We also want Palestinian administrative detainees released in Israeli jails. But more important than anything, if you really care about human rights in terms of the numbers of lives being lost, we need to stop the violence and the attacks on civilians. We need to stop sending arms into the region because the scale of destruction and loss of life is not helping anyone.”

“It’s really hard for me, to be very honest with you, as someone who grew up with this conflict, in the shadow’s of this conflict, my mother is a Palestinian refugee, watching this unfold over the decades it’s extremely hard to feel optimistic about either solution without first and fundamentally shifting the narrative.

STORYLINE:
Amnesty International hosted a demonstration outside the White House on Wednesday, protesting for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
A mass of fake body bags meant to represent the dead, were laid out on the sidewalk outside of the White House North Lawn.
Roses were then laid on over the fake body bags while protestors held signs.
Paul O’Brien, the Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, said Amnesty International organized the demonstration to bring attention to the loss of life that continues today in Gaza.
“After the war crime that Hamas committed on October 7th we have seen more than 11,000 Gazans die. 5000 children. This demonstration is to bring home to President Biden the fact that he’s not doing enough to stop the violence in Gaza,” O’Brien said.
Hazami Barmada, who is a Syrian-Palestinian American, said that she and others were on their 17th day of silent protests outside government buildings in Washington, D.C.
