Hundreds of protesters gathered in Temple Terrace last Saturday, bringing to light the starvation of Palestinians who, according to multiple reports, are watching children die due to malnutrition.
Activists at 56th Street and Fowler Avenue near University of South Florida banged on empty pots to raise awareness of the deliberate withholding of food and water from people in Gaza. Doctors Without Borders recently reported that a quarter of the young children and pregnant women in its Gaza clinics are malnourished.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started to let some aid trickle into Gaza, Tampa Bay’s Party for Socialism and Liberation chapter led protesters in demanding the U.S. government end its involvement in what they called genocide.
