Activists rally outside AIPAC conference: "You're supporting murder!"
IfNotNowOrg supporters gathered demanding "Ceasefire now!" at National Harbor, Maryland Tuesday morning where an AIPAC conference took place and told attendees "you're supporting murder!"

"Shame on you!"

"Jews reject AIPAC, AIPAC supports genocide" their banner said.

It is time to reject AIPAC. As Jews we envision a thriving future for all in Israel-Palestine, and here in the United States," one said.

"A future where Palestinians and Jews live in genuinely equal, just and free society without fear of violence, Apartheid and occupation."

Current IfNotNow member Lilly described that she had been an active member of AIPAC but changed her opinion as she met Palestinians and visited the region.

"As I cultivated relationships with new people, with Palestinians, I came to realize that my safety and theirs was intertwined."

She adds that she was "horrified" when Trump spoke at AIPAC in 2016, which made her "start to question AIPAC's in my community and in my life." She walked out of Trump's speech.

"It was the first spark of a new understanding about my faith, about my values, and about the life I wanted to lead."

"AIPAC also endangers American Jews and other marginalized communities here by backing far-right candidates whose platform supports white nationalists," an activist said outside their conference.

"AIPAC has thrown its weight behind over 100 insurrectionists, some of whom have endorsed the anti-Semitic and racist Great Replacement Theory, all because they're willing to vote for unconditional military funding for Israel."

"Shame" the crowd yelled.

"We are praying for the hostages still captive in Gaza, the Palestinians held by the Israeli military, and all of their families waiting anxiously, desperate for their release."

"May we find the strength and courage to continue to fight for an end to this violence."
