For the third time in just a little over a week, a Pro-Palestine protest/march was held in downtown Chicago. Yesterday's protest began at Daley Plaza and then the march proceeded to the Israeli consulate on Wacker Drive. The protest was to show opposition to Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip. A counter-protest, supporting Israeli action and claiming any military strikes are aimed at Hamas, was held earlier Friday at the Federal Plaza. more ›

After Friday's pro-Palestine protest, demonstrators moved farther north along Michigan Avenue to a tourist-heavy spot near Water Tower. This time, some pro-Israel demonstrators were thrown into the mix. Titled the "Emergency Protest for Gaza", people once again called for Israel to cease their current military actions against Hamas. more ›
