Pro-Palestine group to run campaign across DC against Netanyahu

[Jefferson23]

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) – As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial speech at the US Congress nears, a pro-Palestine group has launched a new campaign across Washington, DC criticizing Netanyahu's actions and urging the US to end aid to Israel.

The campaign will run ads on buses across Washington, DC during Netanyahu's visit.

A Palestinian-American who helps coordinate boycott Israel campaigns Senan Shaqdeh told the Palestine Liberation Organization diaspora department Sunday that the controversy around Netanyahu's congress speech on US media "created an opportunity to educate average Americans about the crimes and violations of human rights Israel commits everyday using US taxpayers' money."

An American pro-Palestine activist Jackie highlighted, according to the PLO diaspora department, that the ongoing Gaza blockade and the ban on entry of construction material for reconstruction is "unfortunately supported and covered up by the United States."
