Activist Calls Out Andy Kim In Ridgewood Forum, Asking For Ceasefire In Gaza

A group seeking a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict released a video of a woman pressing Rep. Andy Kim on his views at a Ridgewood forum.

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — A group seeking a ceasefire in the Israel/Palestine conflict in Gaza released this video of a woman at a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Andy Kim this past Thursday, calling on him to ask for an end to the violent war.

Tensions have risen in the United States since the Oct. 7 massacre in which the terrorist group Hamas killed more than 1,000 people in Israel, including at a music festival, and kidnapped others.

Since then, ample videos have been released of Palestinian families being killed in the ensuing war. More than 28,000 Palestinian adults and children have been killed in the fighting, the Associated Press has reported, and others are huddling together in tents.
