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.

The New Paltz Oracle

Oil fires. Toxic smoke. Burn pits.

Our veterans fought for healthcare due to hazards just like this.

Every military family knows: the fight doesn't end when the bombs stop dropping. It comes home.

The health crises are just beginning. #NoWarWithIran #VeteransForPeace

War shouldn’t be profit-driven. Every conflict costs families their future, not just budgets. Invest in peace, education, healthcare, and opportunity — not endless wars. Humanity over industry. #PeaceNotWar #VeteransForPeace #EndEndlessWars #HumanCost #InvestInPeople #MOHASH

We don’t think this Monterey County resident is out of touch with distressing circumstances in our nation, including surreal actions by the Commander in Chief. In fact, this local is a U.S. military veteran (unlike the C of C, ironically) and a member of Veterans for Peace.

Yet even when news is troubling, whenever we see him, he wears a bright smile. We feel sure he keeps his spirits up—regardless of the day’s news or the day’s weather— by doing lots of pedaling! Whenever we see him, as again today, he’s on his bicycle.
