Pro-Palestinian demonstrators, led by the “Writers Bloc,” occupied The New York Times headquarters lobby, demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Accusing media bias in favor of Israel, they read off names of Palestinians killed, including 36 journalists, and scattered a mock newspaper calling for a cease-fire. Photos showed “Lies” painted on the Times’ doors. The peaceful sit-in followed citywide student walkouts in support of Palestinians. Similar protests have targeted high-profile locations in New York, bringing attention to the Gaza death toll, exceeding 10,800 people. Earlier actions included the brief takeover of the Statue of Liberty and the disruption of Grand Central Terminal.
