Ceasefire Now. Not tomorrow, not after the ICJ case, not after the Red Sea has been cleared. Now.

I think you’ll find Palestinians are very willing to talk when they’re not being bombed and starved.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of marchers descended on Washington DC on Saturday to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to protest US aid to Israel, more than three months into an Israeli offensive against Hamas that is killing 250 Palestinians per day, according to the Oxfam charity.
A similar, British event took place in London earlier in the day, attended by thousands including the giant, well-traveled Syrian puppet Little Amal, representing refugees and displaced people, only recently back from a high-profile visit to the US-Mexico border.
One of the organizing groups in Washington, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said on Friday that they had sent a letter to the White House calling on the president to secure a “complete and verifiable ceasefire”, the release of all hostages in Gaza and political prisoners in Israel, and the termination of unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for the Israeli government.
Among those addressing the crowd in Washington, by video link, was Al Jazeera journalist Wael al-Dahdouh, whose wife, daughter, two sons and a grandchild were killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Speaking at the rally, Taher Herzallah, the director of outreach for American Muslims for Palestine, said the conflict in Gaza had given the people of the global south the clarity to “rise together in unison”.
“Who would have known that the mighty people of Yemen would challenge the empires of the world,” he added, referring to the Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea that have led to two nights of retaliatory strikes by the US and UK.
The original article contains 922 words, the summary contains 256 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

This does not sound like somebody interested in promoting peace.

Completely agree. I’m as against the Israeli terror campaign in Gaza as the next guy, but come on. Iran-backed terrorists attacking random cargo ships is hardly a basis for progress.
Did The Guardian change the title? Now it says thousands, not tens of thousands
Final count was like 400,000 or something, so I guess thousands is more accurate.
I don’t know about final count, that’s the organizers themselves, their number seems to be like a hundred or so times higher than what others seem to have estimated. I’d take it with a considerable chunk of salt.
Photos alone suggest it’s easily more than 4000. Idk where you’re getting your estimates from, because they’re clearly wrong
Photos alone suggest it’s easily more than 4000
That’s within the estimate of thousands that almost every news article about this puts the number at. Did you confuse 4000 for 400 000?
Idk where you’re getting your estimates from
You yourself posted the article that says “thousands” (Not tens of thousands, like you said in the title. Like I said, not sure if you made a mistake or the title was changed). Every other article about this that I saw has the same estimate of “thousands”. 4000 would be 1% of the organizer’s estimate of 400 000, which seems well, quite high in comparison.
