Protesters, not far from the White House — the most important address of the country — came with their keffiyehs, Palestinian flags, drums, placards to record their anger at Gaza's catastrophe and frustration over US government's failure to rein in Israel and its opposition of a permanent truce in Gaza.Protesters also lined-up dozens of small white body bags with the names of children killed in Gaza.
"I just tell people there's nothing anti-Semitic about calling for equality. What's anti-Semitic about saying all people deserve to be treated equally? That's what this movement is about." Protesters also lined-up dozens of small white body bags with the names of children killed in Gaza. A lone protester near the protest site carried a white shroud splattered with red colour to highlight the mass killings of Palestinian children in indiscriminate Israeli bombardment.
