Talk:March on Washington for Gaza

CAIR numbers are almost certainly upper range of estimate
We should probably have a full estimate of numbers. I suspect we get a similar range (100k to 400k) as from the November 2023 march. homo momo (talk) 02:16, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree. I haven't seen any sources (except for discredited ones) saying it's below 100,000. 400,000 is definitely on the upper range but not contested. Whoy51 (talk) 17:11, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Added photo from event
its my own photo. Its crappy but it has no recognizable faces and should suffice, i think. homo momo (talk) 03:04, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * There are a few photos from the official protest organizers we could use. I think we should also have a further down of protesters in front of the white house after the march started. Whoy51 (talk) 17:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Paris Republic Square
AP mentioned Paris republic square but i dont know if thats a realsquare??? homo momo (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Protest Organizers
I don't have edit privileges but the protest organizers are a coalition that is called the American Muslim Task Force for Palestine. Some of the groups part of the task force are CAIR, AMPalestine, etc. So it shouldnt say American Muslim Task Force for Palestine and CAIR because CAIR is part of American Muslim Task Force for Palestine.

Protest Demands
I think the article should more clearly list out the demands of protesters. From the March4Gaza.org website:

1. An Immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Over 21,000+ Palestinians have been killed, 70% were women and children since October 7th. With 54,000+ injured, and approximately 1.8 million displaced in the last 3 months, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians by Israel must stop.

2. Stop the unconditional US funding of Israel’s genocide against Gaza and the occupation of Palestine. It is abundantly clear that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is funded and supported by the United States. The hundreds of millions of dollars in ammunition transfers since October 7th, the back-and-forth shuttling of top-level US officials to Israel, the positioning of American aircraft carriers and the use of mercenaries has all been facilitated by the United States to bolster Israel’s murderous rampage in Gaza. We also firmly oppose current proposals in Congress to send an additional 14.3 billion dollars worth of weapons to Israel while it massacres Palestinian children daily. We demand an immediate and complete end to all US weapons transfers to Israel.

3. Hold Israel accountable for war crimes committed against the Palestinian people and their continuous violations of international law. Israeli leaders have been very explicit in their intent to commit genocide in Gaza. Top ranked officials such as Netanyahu to lower rank government officials such as Galit Atbaryan have all called for the erasure of Gaza and the elimination of the Palestinian people. We call on the International Criminal Court to investigate and charge Israeli leaders with crimes against humanity for their intent and committal of well-documented atrocities against the people of Gaza and Gaza’s civilian infrastructure such as homes, schools, hospitals, mosques/churches, universities, roads, water and power infrastructure.

We also call on the US government to end their participation and complicity in Israel’s crimes against humanity and demand full and swift accountability for US and Israeli officials involved in this genocide.

Can someone paraphrase these and add them? I do not have edit privaledges as this is a protected article.

 * The source needs to be independent of the event. Unfortunately, I can’t update an article with this unless if another reliable source says it. (usually this list Reliable sources/Perennial sources) User:Sawerchessread (talk) 02:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Image
The banner image is particularly poorly lit and doesn’t show much of the crowd. I’d suggest a better one be chosen. 2603:7080:2E07:A8B3:8D9B:2C4C:612E:DF07 (talk) 00:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
