The banners that appeared over NY's Brooklyn-Queens Expressway this week were loud and clear - "Free Palestine". Another banner appeared at the Cross Bronx Expressway at 179th Street and Amsterdam Ave on Wednesday morning.

Drivers may have thought this was the work of some radical Muslim group, but in fact the banners were put up by JATO - Jews Against the Occupation.

This is the same group that accused the Israeli government of war crimes during the Gaza invasion and that railed against Israeli aggression being funded with "US taxpayer's money".

Ethan Heitner, speaking for the group said: "Today's action is one small contribution to the growing movement in solidarity with the 1.5 million Palestinians whose lives are being destroyed by the occupation ... We know from our own history what being sealed behind barbed wire and checkpoints is like, and we know that 'Never Again' means not anyone, not anywhere - or it means nothing at all."
