NYU Langone Health gave the nurse, Hesen Jabr, an award for her work. She said hospital officials then fired her because she made pro-Palestinian remarks in an acceptance speech.
The gulf war under Bush Junior saw millions of people marching regularly for months. I shot over 800 hours of video of those marches myself, in Detroit and Windsor.
I assume you mean under Bush Sr? The only Gulf war googling got me was the one in 1991, and that’s a bit before my time. That’s really cool that you have footage of the protests, are they available anywhere to view at all?
Well some people called it the Iraq War but it was the same war started by his daddy so we just called it Gulf War 2.0. It still lingers, mission was not accomplished.
I don’t have any of the footage sadly. The documentary never got made. I don’t think anyone has used the footage, probably sitting in a university archive somewhere.
However there were regular marches of notable size in both Windsor and Detroit, which were loosely coordinated with the millions marching elsewhere around the world. People showed a fair bit of opposition.
I think some of that energy segued into the Occupy movement too.
It’s really fucking weird to see the disconnect between the powers that be and regular people regarding Israel/Gaza.
I can’t really think of anything in my lifetime that had the same disconnect. Was the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq this protested? Vietnam maybe?
