Over 1,000 people gathered at UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza on Tuesday to protest the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Demonstrators held signs expressing support for Palestinians and criticizing Israel's response to the conflict.
More than 1,000 people protesting the Israel - Hamas war in Gaza crowded UC Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza on Tuesday afternoon, holding signs such as “Faculty and Staff for a Free Palestine” and, over a picture of Kamala Harris, “No Votes for Genocide.”for students across the country and around the world to “rise together for a week of rage” from Oct. 7 to Oct. 11.
Elbakri said that he was thankful that his family members who died early in the conflict did not have to witness Gaza’s being turned to rubble. Soon after the demonstration got underway, four pro-Israel demonstrators with Israeli flags walked across the steps of Sproul Hall and were swarmed and jostled by a dozen booing anti-war protesters and told they did not belong at the event. Ethan Tallman, one of the pro-Israel demonstrators who wore an Israeli flag tied around his neck, said he felt unsafe when surrounded but that calling attention to the tragedy of Oct. 7 was important.
