Bearing flags and united in fury, tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of American cities on Saturday, expressing their opposition to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. The protests demanded a cease-fire and an end to the siege in Gaza, extending the concerns expressed in previous demonstrations around the world. Demonstrators in Washington chanted slogans and carried signs urging action and mourning for the lives lost. While some chants have been criticized for being antisemitic, protesters defended them as a call for freedom. Public opinion surveys show a growing support for Palestinian civilians and concern for their well-being amid the ongoing conflict. The protests in American cities showcased a diverse range of people and groups, including Black activists, students, labor unions, and antiwar and environmental organizations. Each city had its unique atmosphere, such as Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood filled with Palestinian support, San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza crowded with union members, and Provo, Utah, exemplifying a diverse group including members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ultimately, the protests in Washington and other cities displayed a united front of participants and groups from various backgrounds, all raising their voices to demand change.
