Anti-Israel protest groups are holding rallies at the White House and across the US against Israel’s renewed air campaign in Gaza.
The Palestinian Youth Movement, an anti-Israel activist group, announces protests in cities including Washington, New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Los Angeles.
The group’s New York branch shares videos of a crowd in Times Square chanting “end the Zionist occupation” and marching through Manhattan shouting “imperialism will fall.”

At the White House, the group posts footage of protesters chanting, “Gaza, Yemen, make us proud, tear this occupation down” and “stop the US war machine.”
The protests come after the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror group, called on activists to “take to the streets, to besiege the White House… to deliver a clear message to the murderers.”
“Gaza and its resistance will not be broken,” the group says in a message shared by anti-Israel activist groups in the US.
