Protests Condemning the Genocide of Palestinians and Black Panthers in Algeria

KPFA - Hard Knock Radio

On this episode of Hard Knock Radio, host Davey D speaks with students about their ongoing struggle for justice and solidarity with Palestine. Hundreds of people from across the Bay Area, alongside over 65 organizations, are uniting to mourn one year of genocide and commemorate one year of Palestinian resistance.

In the past year, over 189,000 Palestinians have been killed in what many describe as a genocide committed by Israel, with U.S. financial support. The crisis has led to widespread famine and disease in displaced populations. Despite these horrific conditions, the Palestinian people have remained resilient in their resistance.

Student, worker, and community organizations continue to stand in solidarity with Palestinians, demanding an end to U.S. aid to Israel, an end to repression against activists, and a redirection of funding towards jobs and education instead of war and occupation.

Stay tuned for exclusive interviews with key organizers and media liaisons from the student, labor, and community sectors, offering insight into the next steps in this vital struggle for justice.
