#BostonMA protest calls for end of war in #Gaza, release of activist #MahmoudKhalil

Nationwide demonstrations were scheduled this weekend to protest the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

By Thea DiGiammerino, March 16, 2025

"Hundreds calling for the end of the war in Gaza rallied in the streets of Boston Sunday, one of many demonstrations across the country protesting not only the violence but also recent action by the Trump administration toward a man who was arrested by immigration officials after speaking out about the issue.

"Chanting '#FreePalestine,' and other mottos calling for the end of the war, the crowd gathered in Copley Square then marched to the Mass. Ave Bridge, where they blocked traffic for around 10 minutes before moving off the streets.

"Massachusetts State Police said they monitored the event and no arrests were made."

[...]

"'When the Trump administration detained multiple people from the #PalestineMovement we could have seen our communities react in fear, we could have seen hundreds of Bostonians staying home today. And that’s not what we’re seeing because we know people will stand up against this #bullying,' one attendee told NBC10 Boston.

"Tensions over the situation in the Middle East and the #Trump administration's policies concerning the war remain high. Last week, the #DepartmentOfEducation issued a warning to 60 colleges and universities that they were under investigation for allegations of antisemitism. The Department of Justice also announced the creation of a federal task force to investigate the issue, and said Boston would be one of the cities targeted in the work."

Remember when the extreme right people would talk about their "Free Speech" rights, and we all knew what they wanted- which was to use "Free Speech" as a pretense to cause harm to Queer folks, and Black folks, and anyone they didn't like.

We called it out. We made fun of them, called it "Freeze Peach", etc.

When someone, under the pretense of "Free Speech", physically assaults someone else, sprays hate messages on their home, shoots at their school, physically blocks them from entering their school or work, gives away maps of where a "certain type of person" lives, etc. that's also not "Free Speech". It doesn't matter what the cause is, and if it's someone from the Left doing it. It's still not okay.

Call it out. Call it Freeze Peach. Call it whatever the hell we need to call it to make it stop.

And if you defend this stuff, then as far as I'm concerned, you can go to the same place as the Proud Boys go.

Betar, an international far-right pro-Israel group, took credit for the DHS arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. They also claimed they sent “thousands of names” of Palestine defenders to Trump for deportation.

Betar is so right-wing that even the ADL, (itself a racist, right-wing zionist organization), blacklisted them for comments like "not enough" babies were killed in Gaza.

🇺🇸Donald Trump ordered the US military to bomb Yemen, killing at least 19 people.

The US empire is punishing Yemen because it's one of the very few countries that is actually trying to stop Israel's US-sponsored genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
