1,000 Gaza protesters rally in Hollywood ahead of Oscars, blocking traffic

LA Times  

Protesters gather in Hollywood outside Sunday’s Oscar ceremony to demand an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-amas war. “Go, go, go!” one organizer yelled as he frantically waved at cars to move through the intersection at Sunset Boulevard and Highland near the Dolby Theatre, where the ceremony was set to start. “Free free Palestine!” the crowd chanted to a drumbeat — waving posters showing a movie slate painted in black, white, green and red, the colors of the Palestinian flag — with a message addressed to the Oscar audience: “While you’re watching, bombs are dropping.” Demonstrators also gathered earlier around the Hollywood Boulevard exit off the 101 Freeway and at the intersection of Sunset and Vine. “Two are in Rafah, one in a tent with his family and another in a room with about 50 people.” She said one of her mentees needs diapers for his 2-month-old, but “what they need more than anything is freedom.” Joining the demonstration on Sunset, several members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television Radio Artists showed their support for Palestinians and a cease-fire, holding a large SAG-AFTRA poster at the front of the crowd. “There is this racist ideology running rampant inside, and there is no punishment for it.” She said Palestinian Americans who voiced support for Gaza had been unfairly retaliated against in the entertainment industry, citing the case of a friend, a fellow actor who was dropped by their manager after posting pro-Palestinian messages on social media.
