Philadelphia: March against Israeli apartheid
By Betsey Piette posted on July 13, 2021
Hundreds of people carrying Palestinian flags, protest signs and banners gathered at City Hall for a March Against Israeli Apartheid July 10.
A spirited march up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Art Museum followed, with speakers on a sound truck leading chants the entire route. One popular chant was “We don’t want your ‘two states,’ we want all of ‘48” in reference to Palestinian territory designated as the “state of Israel” in 1948.
The event was organized by Philly for Palestine and co-sponsored by Philadelphia chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, Students for Justice in Palestine, CAIR and IfNotNow along with the Philadelphia Free Palestine Coalition, Boycott Divest Sanction and Workers World Party. Sponsors also included Temple University and Swarthmore College SJP and JVP-Swarthmore.

A new focus on âdomestic terrorâ was recently announced along with a million-dollar budget and law enforcement connections at the state and local levels.
But is this a coming assault on Whiteness as a threat to Americaâs existence or expanded government that will again target Blacks and other voices of dissent?

Assaults on âterrorâ have been a double edged sword with progressive Black movements most often being caught in the federal governmentâs crosshairs.
Police departments countywide are putting the finishing touches on contracts, or are already in the process of rolling out the equipment amongst staff to be fully compliant with new state guidelines that take effect in June.
