"The anti-Israel organizers said they were protesting against an Israeli real estate event in the area, accusing organizers of marketing land in the West Bank. Similar events have sparked several heated protests in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Tuesday’s event was reportedly canceled due to safety concerns."
There are also reports that Pro-Israel supporters yelled "Trump owns Gaza!"
Personally I am against the Israeli Government and Hamas. Both sides have and are continuing to do horrific things and deserve our condemnation, not our support. I understand that people on here may not like my opinion and I offer my apologies to any offense in advance but none for my opinion.
