This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched through downtown Washington DC on Saturday in what organizers hoped was the largest US demonstration of its kind since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza after Hamas attacked the country last month.
The crowd waved Palestinian flags, carried posters and chanted slogans during the National March on Washington: Free Palestine, which took place alongside similar events across the US and elsewhere in the world.
Organizers representing or endorsed by dozens of pro-Palestinian groups directed marchers to Freedom Plaza in the nation’s capital before looping past the White House.
The march, alongside protests in New York, Seattle and other US cities, was part of an intensifying push to demand both a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict and an end to US and western military aid to Israel.
Signs of a split between traditional, pro-Israel Democratic party supporters and younger voters, including Arab Americans, over the Israel-Gaza conflict were made apparent in a speech by Nihad Awad, the national director at the Council on American–Islamic Relations.
Speakers at the march included human rights attorney Noura Erakat, Palestinian writer and activist Mohammed El-Kurd, and figures from Muslim and Arab organizations in the US.
The original article contains 784 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Shocking that young people think justice should apply for everyone and they don’t trust a government that says “just trust us we’re the good guys”. Old democrats are assholes that deserve to lose elections, they just aren’t fascists. If Biden fucks up and gets protest voters or whatever, he loses the extra support needed to get him over the line. He’d deserve it, but it’s also frightening.
