Chicago Sees Gatherings in Support of Palestinians, Israel

Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and a spokesman for the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine, said elected officials’ condemnations of Palestinians were “not acceptable. The reason for this escalation is decades of Israeli crimes--decades of home demolitions, of stealing of land, of killing of Palestinian people in their home and in the streets.” He said that about 2,000 people rallied outside the Israeli consulate in Chicago this weekend and that many Palestinians in Chicago have relatives in Israel. “And so there is a lot of fear. And then of course also to just mourn the loss.” He said that “while the Palestinian-Israeli situation is complex, there is no complexity to what happened this weekend. Terrorist actors committed the most heinous atrocities on innocent civilians Israel has ever seen.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Supporters of Israel and backers of the Palestinian cause rallied in American cities Sunday over the conflict that has killed hundreds and wounded thousands in the Middle East. Palestinian Americans planned to gather Sunday outside of the Israeli consulates in Atlanta and Chicago. “It really should be no surprise that this is happening.”Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was set to lead a Jewish community gathering in support of Israel at a synagogue in San Francisco. A pro-Palestinian march was planned for Times Square Sunday afternoon. Associated Press journalist Cedar Attanasio in New York, Jeff Amy in Atlanta and Sophia Tareen in Chicago contributed to this report.
