Protesters broke the calmness of downtown Princeton on Sunday, May 20, when approximately 60 people marched through the streets, chanting the names of the 62 Palestinians slain by Israeli forces on May 14. The tragedy coincided with the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and marked Gaza’s bloodiest day since 2014. May 14 also marked the 70th anniversary of the formation of Israel, a historic day of celebration for Israelis and catastrophe for Palestinians. The “mourners’ march,” which was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace — Central New Jersey, aimed to uphold and remember those who protested and were killed in Gaza by Israeli forces.
