Zohran Mamdani in 2023: "Stop Israeli settler violence: Not on Our Dime!"

Democrat and republican politicians in the United States of America give Israel nearly $4 billion dollars (our tax money) a year. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two zionists political parties in the USA and support the zionist, racist, apartheid state of Israel. Democrats and republicans in the USA are two faces of the same yankee empire.

The "Stop Israeli settler violence: Not on Our Dime!" rally and march in Manahatta, Lenapehoking (Manhattan, New York City), was on Thursday, July 20, 2023.

The rally was at Herald Square. After the rally people marched for a few blocks and returned to Herald Square where they ended the demonstration.

The Not on Our Dime! coalition took to the streets to call for an end to Israeli settler violence and demand New York state stop subsidizing Israeli settlement expansion. There should be no tax breaks for war crimes.

Organizers of the rally and march said, "While Israeli settlements may feel far away, many of the settlers who are attacking Palestinians and stealing their land are using funding from organizations here in New York State. These organizations masquerade as “charities” while funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to forcibly evict families, bulldoze schools, destroy roads, and push more Palestinians off their land. By allowing these organizations non-profit status, and thus tax breaks, New York is effectively subsidizing war crimes.

That's why a coalition of grassroots and legal organizations launched the Not on Our Dime! Act. It’s the first piece of legislation affirmatively supporting Palestinian rights in New York, and the first of its kind in the US.

New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani introduced this groundbreaking legislation, flanked by the Center for Constitutional Rights, Adalah Justice Project, Palestinian Youth Movement, the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Jewish Voice for Peace, NYC Democratic Socialists of America, and more.

Let’s pour into the streets to make sure our elected officials hear from us – we are outraged, we are growing in numbers and power, and we refuse to stand by as our state subsidizes apartheid."

Not On Our Dime!

"Not On Our Dime: End NY Funding of Israeli Settler Violence.

The Israeli settler movement expelling Palestinians from their generational homes is subsidized by New York State. We can end this.

Over 700,000 Israeli settlers live on 250 illegal settlements built on Palestinian land in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

To establish these settlements, the Israeli settler movement and its institutions have used a combination of discriminatory laws, Israeli military decrees, surveillance, and outright violence, often by private individuals with the backing of the Israeli military.

Many of the settlers who gut these towns are actually funded by organizations here in New York State. That’s why we’ve launched Not on Our Dime!"_www.notonourdime.com
