Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Sunday to oppose Israel’s brutal 100-day military campaign on Gaza which has killed 23,000 people. The protesters called for a ceasefire and for the U.S. to stop supplying military aid to Israel.
The rally was organized by the Muslim American Task Force, and featured speakers such as presidential candidate Jill Stein, and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Nihad Awad, as well as family members of those killed in Gaza.
One speaker, Abed Ajrami, said his nephew had been paralyzed in a bombing raid and his entire family had been killed, according to The Washington Post.
