"We are here to stand in support of the people of Palestine," said Waseem Hage from the Arab Resource and Organizing Center.Hundreds of Pro-Palestine protesters packed Montgomery Street outside the Israeli consulate in downtown San Francisco, making sure their message was heard. They said they want the U.S. to end financial aid to Israel and put an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.Those rallying to support Palestinian resistance to military control were met with strong opposition.
"I see the attacks as self-defense. I'm not a proponent of violence. I'm a non-violent person. I think we need to talk about why these attacks might occur," said Marna Wolak, longtime supporter of Justice for Palestine. "I know Jewish Voice for Peace. We mourn the deaths of everyone who's been killed during this latest situation," said Ellen Brotsky from Jewish Voice for Peace.
