Thousands Fill Streets To Protest Israel’s War In Gaza

WASHINGTON (AP) — Police deployed tear spray and demonstrators were taken into custody as thousands of protesters against the war in Gaza converged on Washington to condemn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit. Demonstrators filled several blocks as they weaved through the streets of the nation’s capital carrying Palestinian flags and signs with messages such as “arrest Netanyahu” and “end all U.S. aid to Israel.” Outside Washington’s Union Station, protesters removed American flags and hoisted Palestinian ones in their place to massive cheers in the crowd.
