Pro-Palestinian demonstrators express frustration as they march through Astoria

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators spilled onto Steinway Street as thousands marched in Queens on Wednesday night.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators spilled onto Steinway Street, and nearly swallowed up Astoria, Queens, as thousands marched on Wednesday night.

They expressed frustration at the U.S. media, President Joe Biden and Governor Kathy Hochul, and they say they will be out on the streets until they get what they want. As for the $100 million in U.S. humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, organizers say it's meaningless."They want us to look away and wash the blood off of their hands by providing so-called humanitarian aid that we would not need if they didn't pay for the bombs that were dropped on the people of Gaza in the first place," Kiswani said.

Inside the U.N., the United States vetoed a resolution that would have condemned Hamas' attacks against Israel and all violence against civilians and urged humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
