Residents Rally in Kingston Against the War in Iran - The New Paltz Oracle

On Saturday, March 7, around 200 Hudson Valley residents rallied in a national day of action against the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, joining 55 other cities across the nation at Academy Green Park in Kingston, N.Y.Since the attack on Iran on Feb. 28, at least 1,230 people in the country have been killed, including 175 school girls and staff after U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab. According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, the bombs were pre-emptively sent to “remove threats against the state of Israel,” and America was acting in wake of expected Iranian retaliation. President Donald Trump says that Iran’s nuclear missiles could reach U.S. soil, but this claim is not supported by U.S. intelligence assessments. Opposition to the war has been strong, with 56% of Americans calling for its end.
