Pro-Hamas Demonstrations in Multiple American Cities

Following the surprise Hamas attack on Israel this past weekend, The Spectator reported that pro-Hamas rallies occurred worldwide, including in many American cities. Supporters celebrated and some in the U.S. justified the violence. Pro-Israel gatherings were smaller and more somber, with attendees expressing solidarity. The divide between the two sides was evident.

More from Matthew Foldi at The Spectator (free with registration):

Not everyone mourned, however. In fact, at countless protests across America, many were jubilant. I witnessed the White House rally, put on by the ANSWER Coalition, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and others — where chants glorifying the Palestinian terrorists who took Israel by storm were the norm. The crowd itself was far smaller, and less violent, than at a comparable ANSWER Coalition rally with thousands of attendees that I covered almost a decade ago, where participants punched me as I filmed them. 

…
The DC rally was only one of the over-forty pro-Hamas rallies that sprung up following the invasion, from Anchorage to Albuquerque to Austin to Atlanta. In front of the White House, demonstrators defended Palestinian violence against Israel as the “only option” and stated, without regard for proper grammar, that “liberation is a verb.”
…
Other sponsors of pro-Palestinian rallies across America include the Democratic Socialists of America, whose members include six Democrats in Congress. Among them is Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, whose much-delayed and little-anticipated response to the attacks on Israel was that Israel was asking for it. “As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,” she said.
