Just before the demonstration started the announcement of the Israeli invasion came over the news wires.

Around 1,000 people stretched across the steps in front of Philadelphia's City Hall for a rally targeting U.S. funding for the Israeli war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The crowd predominantly Palestinians, youthful, and militant. Chants targeted the terrorist nature of Israel's bombing in Gaza. Speakers linked budget cuts in Philadelphia that will close 11 libraries to U.S. funding of Israeli bombs being dropped on elementary schools. Passing motorists honked in support. In Boston, about 1500 people took to the streets to protest the US/Israeli Genocide in Gaza.

It was the largest protest and the first major march in Southern California since the Israeli bombing campaign and invasion began.

Hundreds of children followed, along with a huge, hand-made Palestinian flag, in a contingent organized by the Palestinian American Women’s Association.

Anyone with a semblance of humanity watching this video, hearing what the doctor in a Gaza hospital says, will know the extent of Israel's barbarity.
"This is Dante's Inferno, hell. There are injuries here you just don't want to see. Children with their abdomens open and legs cut off. We just had a child and we had to amputate both legs and an arm. Their only crime is that they are civilians, Palestinians, living in Gaza. The bombing has to stop immediately. This cannot go on. Anyone who portrays this as a clean war against another army is lying. This is an all out war against the civilian population in Gaza. They cannot flee as other populations can in war time because Israel has them trapped in a cage. Israel is bombing one and a half million people trapped in a cage."
