When this story was covered on the local evening news they preceded it and seemingly tied it to the latest news story regarding 5 local synagogues which have been anonymously sent envelopes containing a white substance resulting in a hazmat response.

Fortunately the substances have not been found to be dangerous but naturally it's still generating a lot of anxiety, fear and concern. This rally may be one of the ways some members of the local Jewish community are taking action to show they will not be intimidated while simultaneously taking what action they can to have their voices heard.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Space Needle on Sunday afternoon to demand a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.​

​

They surrounded the ticket booth and the main entrance of Seattle’s landmark tower, preventing people from going inside. But some self-service ticket booths on the side of the building still worked, and staff let people in through other entrances.​

​

The civil disobedience action was organized by the advocacy group Jewish Voice for Peace. Organizer Michael Grant said that after protesting at the Federal Building for weeks, demanding Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., call for a cease-fire, Jewish Voice for Peace was taking a bigger stage at the Space Needle Sunday afternoon.​

​

“We’re here at the Space Needle as an iconic Washington landmark to say that there cannot be any business as usual, there cannot be visiting tourist attractions while our tax dollars are going to fund the murders of innocent Palestinians,” Grant said.​

You can call that people demanding a ceaser-fire but if Hamas is not utterly obliterated they are just allowing MORE deaths and stopping nothing.
