As U.S. Vetoes U.N. Gaza Ceasefire Resolution, Kathy Kelly & Veterans Enter 3rd Week of Hunger Strike

A group of veterans and their allies have entered their third week of a Fast for Gaza" outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The group is calling for an end to arms sales to Israel and of Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. We hear from multiple hunger strikers on their decisions to join the planned 40-day action and why they are pressuring the U.N. in particular. We wake up each morning, and we don't worry about whether or not our children have been buried under rubble overnight. We're not drinking poisoned water. We're not surrounded by rubble. We're not dealing with the horrible traumas that people in Palestine and Gaza are dealing with," says peace activist Kathy Kelly, who started her hunger strike two weeks ago. What would make us stop? Well, certainly, if there were a permanent, unconditional, immediate ceasefire."
