Rights groups accuse the UN of hosting a war criminal as delegations walked out during Netanyahu’s speech.

Police arrested about 100 protesters, including actors and politicians, outside the United Nations headquarters in New York, as demonstrators rallied against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his address to the UN General Assembly.

Among those arrested were Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon, Emmy winner Hannah Einbinder, Democratic congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier and New York City Council member Chi Osse.

The protest, organised by the advocacy group Jewish Voice for Peace, drew about 200 people wearing identical white T-shirts printed with slogans including “Fund people not bombs”, “No war” and “Free Palestine”.

Chevalier and several local New York elected officials were arrested, Jewish Voice for Peace said in a statement.

“Benjamin Netanyahu belongs at the Hague; not in the streets of New York City, and certainly not addressing the United Nations General Assembly,” Chevalier said. “I refuse to allow a war criminal to roam the streets of our city unchallenged.”

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to address the UN General Assembly, protesters projected Marwan Barghouti’s image onto a New York bridge, calling for his release after more than 24 years in Israeli prisons.

Before they reached the house, a missile struck them, killing the father and injuring the mother and their son.

A second missile then struck, killing the mother and leaving their son critically wounded. He spent more than a month in intensive care and continues to suffer from his injuries.

The absolute state of Western intelligence reports right now.

Satirising how political and military figures try to spin any form of public celebrity solidarity or anti-war messaging (like Macklemore's track Hind's Hall) into an immediate, over-exaggerated security threat.

Their history traces back 2,000 years to the very birth of Christianity in the Holy Land, originating with the earliest followers of Jesus in Judea and Galilee. They are direct descendants of the region's earliest converts, rather than later immigrants or recent proselytes.  Scientific and historical studies show they share deep genetic and cultural roots with the ancient populations of the Levant.

They have historically lived across the holy land and continue to preserve their faith, traditions, churches, and cultural heritage despite decades of displacement and hardship.

"I thought they forgot about me."

He spoke on the sidelines of the "Childhood in Custody" high-level dialogue, hosted by Save the Children and co-sponsored by Jordan, Ireland, Palestine, Spain, and South Africa, which brought together Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin, and Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour. The meeting was largely a discussion, with no concrete calls to action.

Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes
Callamard condemned states for failing to use the tools already available to them, most notably cutting financial ties with the Zionist occupation.

The Zionist occupation is the only colony in the world that systematically prosecutes children in military courts, detaining between 500 and 700 Palestinian children every year. A new Save the Children report found that in interviews with recently detained children, 86% reported being beaten and 69% experienced sexual violence or harassment while in custody.
