Protesters demand end to Israeli arms shipments at Washington State weapons depot

 

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.—An estimated 150 protesters gathered in a county park across the road from the Indian Island Naval Magazine on Sunday, Sept. 22, to demand a halt to the delivery of U.S. bombs and missiles used in Israel’s war on Gaza that has killed an estimated 41,000 unarmed Palestinians including 16,000 children.

 

The crowd was grieving the Palestinians but also the assassination, Sept. 6 by an Israeli army sniper, of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi during a prayer service in the West Bank town of Beita. A resident of Seattle, Eygi, 26, was a University of Washington graduate with dual U.S.-Turkish citizenship.........

There’s No Such Thing as Escalating to De-Escalate
