As of 11 July, the wonderful Nuclear Resister had recorded more than 9,000 arrests in the US and Canada on over 350 occasions across more than 125 cities and towns in 36 states and five provinces – all demanding a ceasefire in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
Over 3,400 of these arrests have taken place on at least 70 university campuses.
Editors Jack and Felice Cohen-Joppa says this ‘marks the largest surge of anti-war arrests’ since the run-up to, and first weeks of, the 2003 Iraq War, when the Nuclear Resister reported over 7,500 anti-war arrests in the US alone.
