1-Year Anniversary Of Vigil4Gaza

Location: Town & Country Village, Palo Alto, CA
The Instagram post promoting the event featured a graphic that said: "#StopGenocide / #EndOccupation / #EndApartheid / #FreePalestine."
“Free Palestine!” is a chant used to call for Israel's destruction, acting as a shorter version of "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!" It was shouted during multiple deadly attacks on pro-Israel activists in 2025 in America. It has been used to vandalize synagogues and other Jewish buildings, and has been described as a "battle cry for the death of Jews.”
