Supporters of Israel and the Palestinians faced off Monday in another protests in New York City as war wages in the Middle East after a surprise attack on Israel by Hamas.
Protests continued Monday as groups took to the streets to support Palestinians and to condemn Israel over retaliatory airstrikes and military operations after a surprise deadly attack by Hamas against Israeli civilians over the weekend. Despite U.S. support for Israel, an important ally in the Middle East, in the wake the deadly attacks, there has been a surge of support for Palestinians in several American cities.
Palestinian supporters are urging Israel to halt the killing of civilians as several buildings have been brought down and destroyed during continuous airstrikes on Hamas positions in the densely populated Gaza Strip. Many Palestinian supporters have said the coverage of the conflict has been one-sided and claim their suffering is never amplified compared to that of their Israeli counterparts.
