First-Hand Reports from Saturday’s Historic Pro-Palestine Protests
More than 100,000 people marched on Washington Saturday in the largest pro-Palestinian protest in U.S. history. Our team of reporters was there.
“Nov. 4 was an affirmation that we saw it all,” Lara-Nour Walton wrote. “The mangled babies. The apartment buildings reduced to cinder blocks. The white phosphorus clouds hanging in Gazan skies like unsettling jellyfish. November 4th was our expression of fury… But, November 4th, was above all, the embodiment of sumud (صمود) — a Palestinian cultural value that means steadfastness.”

“What we experienced in the 1800s was settler colonization and that project is the exact same thing that we’re seeing our Palestinian relatives experience today,” Native-American leader Krystal Two Bulls told The Indypendent’s Tareq Saghie who also spoke with the descendents of Palestinians who were displaced by the 1948 Nakba.
