Advocates for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war rallied on Monday in front of Sen. Alex Padilla's office in downtown San Diego.
The latest estimate says more than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas War, and Israel’s retaliation is challenged here at home. This morning, in downtown San Diego, a group of allies on both sides came together to demand a ceasefire in the Middle East conflict. KPBS Reporter M.G. Perez tells us their message was loud and clear.
Protesters held signs that read, among other things,"Ceasefire now: no more money for Israel's crimes" and"Senator Padilla: Stop Funding Genocide of Palestinians."According to organizers, two Jewish and two Palestinian protesters attempted to deliver letters"from hundreds of constituents" to Padilla's office, but were denied entry and left the letters outside the office door.
Lily Ostrer, a member of Jewish Voice for Peace San Diego, said her group's Jewish values compel them"to speak out against Israel's atrocities against Palestine and the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians."Lily Ostrer from Jewish Voice for Peace, lead a rally calling on Sen. Alex Padilla to take action in favor of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
"The people have spoken, the people do not want another war," Jazz Massoud, a Palestinian demonstrator, told 10News.
