Among the collectives that called yesterday’s demonstrations is the ANSWER alliance (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, “act now to stop the war and end racism”).
The alliance described through X (the former Twitter) the strikes in Yemen as a “major escalation” that could set the entire region on fire.
The US and British operation is perhaps the most dramatic sign yet of the escalation of the Israel/Hamas war that broke out on October 7, although the US and its allies insist their intention is to “de-escalate” the tension.
