Thousands of supporters of Palestine rallied to the White House to protest the U.S. Government's support of the Israeli military which is carrying out military operations in Gaza leading the many civilian deaths. Prominent speakers such as activist and professor Dr. Cornell West and Director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations Nihad Awad decried U.S. involvement in the conflict and called on President Obama to stop all aid to Israel as thousands chanted from the filled streets lining the White House.
