Protests in Manhattan's Washington Square Park attracted hundreds of supporters Tuesday afternoon as groups organized support for Israelis and Palestinians.
Initial estimates suggest a few hundred people had amassed by the park's fountain in support of Palestinians. The crowd's leaders, NYU Students for Justice in Palestine and a couple dozen other student organizations, are critical of the university's president for denouncing the terrorist attack committed by Hamas.
One pro-Palestinian protester spoke to News 4 about the history of occupation and the need to contextualize the current violence with what has played out over the past decades."It's coming on the heels of 40, 50, 60 years of occupation. I think it's really important to contextualize the violence in that way. There's no perfect way to resist apartheid -- there's only unfortunate victims on every side," the protester said.
