Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gather in the US capital, marching past the White House to chants of “Free Palestine” as the death toll continued to climb in the conflict between Israel and Gazan terrorists.
Across the country, Americans have held pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests in the week since Hamas terrorists broke through the heavily fortified Gaza Strip-Israel border and killed more than 1,300 people, most of them civilians, as well as kidnapping a further 150-200.
Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip in response has killed more than 2,200 people, Hamas authorities say.
Signs carried by marchers included messages such as “End the occupation” and “Cease-fire now.”
On the other side of the country, more than 1,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in Los Angeles, local media reports.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
