Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gather at Israeli Consulate in West L.A.

LA Times  

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered near the Israeli Consulate in West L.A. on Saturday to condemn the country’s ongoing aerial bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ attack one week ago. Carrying signs that said “Free Palestine” and “End the Occupation,” the crowd marched from Wilshire Boulevard and Granville Avenue, where the consulate is located, to a federal office building that houses the FBI’s Los Angeles’ offices about one mile away. The demonstration was one of many held in major cities around the world Saturday calling for an end to violence that has claimed more than 1,300 Israeli lives and left more than 2,200 people dead in Gaza since last Saturday. Since then, Israel has engaged in a round-the-clock bombardment campaign as part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vow to “destroy Hamas.” But the attacks have had dire impacts for civilians in Gaza, already one of the most impoverished locales on Earth, severely limiting access to fresh water and medical supplies for thousands of civilians.
