Marchers of all ages took part in Sunday's demonstration in L.A., with many carrying photos of people taken hostage during Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Waving Israeli flags and clutching images of people believed to be kidnapped by Hamas fighters, thousands of pro-Israel demonstrators marched to the Museum of Tolerance on Sunday, calling for an end to the bloodshed. The demonstration began midmorning at Young Israel of Century City, with demonstrators — many draped in Israeli flags — marching to the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance, where politicians, community leaders and others spoke in solidarity with Israel.
That demonstration was briefly interrupted by a small crowd of pro-Israeli counterdemonstrators, one of whom fired pepper spray, injuring a Times photographer. Israeli troops have been massing along Gaza's border, as they appear to be readying for a ground invasion in an effort to dismantle Hamas. Palestinians have been ordered by Israel to flee northern Gaza, where more than 1 million people live, raising fears of a massive humanitarian crisis.
