Calling for an end to Miami-Dade County’s investments in Israeli bonds to the tune of $76 million , demonstrators lined up along Convention Center Drive holding Palestinian flags and placards that read “Divest From Death” and “Call It What It Is: Genocide.” Under the collective name South Florida Coalition for Palestine, the ad hoc group of over 100 demonstrators includes both cultural workers and members of the nationwide anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).
