This is the best summary I could come up with:

Leftwing activists including the actor Cynthia Nixon, famous for her role in Sex and the City, have begun a hunger strike outside the White House aimed at pressing Joe Biden into demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

They lambasted the Biden administration for enabling a bombardment and ground invasion that has killed nearly 15,000 people, including more than 6,000 children, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, attempted to put the soaring Palestinian death toll in the context of the 20-year US military engagement in Afghanistan while, uniquely among the speakers, also referencing the roughly 1,200 Israelis killed in Hamas’s attack on 7 October that provoked the current hostilities.

Later, in separate comments to the Guardian, Nixon accused the Biden administration of moving “way too slow” to save lives and said Israel was guilty of disproportionality in spreading the consequences of its war against Hamas to the civilian population.

It is the latest in a series of protests by leftist groups (some of them Jewish) outside the grounds of the White House and Congress in which demonstrators have accused Israel of perpetrating “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.

This week’s protest is being organised and endorsed by the Campaign for Palestinian Rights, the Adalah Justice Project, Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, Dream Defenders, Democratic Socialists of America, Institute for Middle East Understanding and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
