“True peace will only be achieved when the zionist entity crumbles and ceases to exist,” wrote the Bronx Anti-War Coalition on Thursday, joining swathes of other anti-Israel and BDS groups that felt dissatisfied with the Trump-brokered Israel-Hamas hostage-ceasefire deal.
The American Marxist pro-Palestinian group also posted its support for “the bravery” of the al-Qassam Brigades, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other resistance factions, adding “We believe Palestine’s liberation will be achieved through armed resistance, and we honor those who fight for it.”
The far-left anti-Zionist Jewish-in-name group Jewish Voice for Peace also had strong words about the deal.
“Trump’s deal does nothing to address the root cause of injustice: Israel’s brutal military rule and oppression of Palestinians,” the organization said.
“Trump’s deal also allows Israel to carry out a genocide without being held to account for its atrocities,” it added.
JVP stressed that even with a ceasefire in place, it will redouble its campaigning for an immediate and full arms embargo, and divestment from US corporations in Israeli businesses.
On a similar vein, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) criticized the deal, saying it remains “deeply concerned about Israel’s tactics and the deceptive maneuvers of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government repeatedly signals that its sole priority is the return of Israeli prisoners, followed by a resumption of genocidal warfare in Gaza.”
“History did not begin on October 7, 2023, and it certainly did not end there. For over a century, the Palestinian people have endured injustice, dispossession, occupation, displacement, repression, genocide, defamation, and the stripping of their humanity,” said Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid, AMP’s executive director.
Charlotte Kates, the international coordinator of Samidoun, called for an escalation of “the struggle” and to “bolster support for the Resistance in the next stage.”
She also reposted a tweet that said “Hamas is interwoven into the plexus of Palestine, where there are institutions, universities, unions.”
