biden’s genocide – los angeles, california (2023)

Dec. 8 2023 – Over a thousand people in Los Angeles protest President Biden’s visit to a lavish ruling class political fundraiser in Holmby Hills organized by the likes of Hollywood billionares like Steven Spielberg. The protest comes as his administration continues to enable the genocidal violence against Palestinians by the Zionist occupation in Gaza which has gone on for over 65 days.

The death toll from the relentless bombardment of the Netanyahu regime has risen to 21,022, a number that includes those missing under the rubble whose chances of survival have diminished drastically. This staggering destruction of human life includes 8,312 children and 4,270 women. Nearly all of these deaths are civilians.

The genocidal siege of Gaza continues with full support of the U.S. and other Western governments as protests have mobilized all over the world in support of the liberation of the Palestinian people and an end to the illegal occupation. As the Biden administration seeks to raise millions in funds for a re-election in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city, Los Angeles still has the distinction of having the largest population of homeless people in the U.S.

Oct. 14 2023 – Thousands of people took to the streets of Los Angeles in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the face of the genocidal onslaught of violence unleashed by the Zionist occupation against Gaza.

Since October 7th, the regime of Netanyahu has relentlessly bombed the Gaza strip after resistance fighters broke out of the largest open air concentration camp in the world. With the full support of the United States and Western governments, the Zionist regime has dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on residential buildings, hospitals, mosques, U.N. schools, shelters and refugee camps.

The amount of explosives dropped by the occupation are estimated to be greater than the two nuclear bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed by the bombings including over 4,000 children. The regime refuses a ceasefire to this date and has escalated the violence with a complete blockade of food, water, electricity and fuel to the captive population of Gaza. The U.S. provides over 3 billion dollars in military aid to the Zionist occupation every year.

“Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as “Juneteenth,” by the newly freed people in Texas.”
