Philadelphia protest: Demonstrators swarm 30th Street Station calling for ceasefire in Gaza

A large group of protesters are gathering at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station Thursday calling for a ceasefire amid the conflict in the Middle East. Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered inside and outside of the station located in University City. “We are part of a growing powerful movement of Jews, of Americans, of Israelis, calling for a ceasefire. (We are) demanding that the US government, President Biden, and the Congress use its power and its privilege and its money to insist that Israel has a ceasefire with Gaza and save the innocent civilian lives,“ said Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari with Kol Tzedek Synagogue. According to SEPTA, the main entrance to 30th Street Station is currently closed. SEPTA passengers may access train service through the side entrance on the northwest side of the station. #philadelphia #news #protest #war #gaza #israel
