On August 8, 2022, Within Our Lifetime, along with other pro-Palestinian organizations held a rally titled “NYC Stands with Gaza,” following the recent round of fighting between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Israel. In the rally, Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime said: “If you stand with Israel, you stand with death and destruction.” She added that “resistance is not terrorism” and said that Palestinians have the right to “defend themselves by every means possible.” She also accused New York City mayor Eric Adams of supporting the murder of Palestinians and Palestinian children.
Protesters chanted: “We don’t want no two states – we want all of It.” “Settlers go back home, Palestine is ours alone!” “We don’t want no Zionists here!” and “The gate of Al-Aqsa is made of iron… It can be opened only by martyrs!”
