INDIANAPOLIS — The Hamas attack on Israel reignited tensions between Indiana's Jewish community and supporters of Palestine. The two sides protested against each other in downtown Indianapolis Thursday night.
"This was the darkest day since the Holocaust," said Allon Friedman, who stands behind Israel."In terms of the number slaughtered in Israel, it's equivalent to ten 9/11 attacks." "Right now, I feel like a spectator witnessing my people get killed by the state of Israel," said Mohammad Abuzugharata, who is from Palestine."I don't know what to do over here. This is the only way I can outlet my frustration."
"My family is currently holed up in one hallway in hopes that if they do get struck by an airstrike, they die together," said Abuzugharata.
