Yes. They have died down a little due to having a constant barrage of domestic issues to protest as well, but they're still happening. You probably haven't seen much, because it's being heavily suppressed by the media here. There's large protests going on somewhere in the US every single day about something, mostly about the unlawful arrests and deportations.
FYI: It's the middle of the night in most of the US, so there probably won't be a lot of American responses to this for a bit.
There have been continuous pro-Palestine protests here in Chicago for more than the last two decades. You might not see reporting on it because we're just so used to it at this point. It's not news, it's a fact of life.
Cool pretty much answered my question there thanks
Locally here there are constantly pro Palestine displays or protests. I attend what I can when I can but the efforts have been split a lot with other mutual aid and direct action campaigns to push back on ICE raids and trans rights infringements and other stuff like that. At least this is how things have shifted in recent month in organizations I'm in.
Also consider the US media is all complicit in this genocide and suppress the ever loving shit out of any Palestine mobilization when they can. They have to lest the people who still somehow haven't gotten out in the streets over this finally wake up seeing it on their screen all the time.
Yes they exist, BDS was a very influential one that is still going on as we speak. College campuses were and are still are the hot bed for this activity but it has unfortunately died down. Americans mostly only care about domestic politics and are very stressed about that rn so we haven't had any huge marches recently if thats what you are wondering about
Wasnβt there the soldier that put himself on fire and the campus occupations last year?
If i recall there actions where heavily oppressed. With the current state of political chaos it might also be a case of shifting priorities from foreign to domestic problems.
The news barely reported on that soldier. Wouldn't be surprised to hear there are more protests they're refusing to cover.
I work in the state capital of NY. We have had many.
I saw one on campus last year but nothing recently.
