“We came here to let our voices be heard,” said one demonstrator in Washington, D.C. “Every human is entitled to basic human rights, not killing kids, not torturing people.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Huge crowds of protesters filled the streets of Washington, D.C. and other U.S. cities on Saturday to demand a cease-fire in Israel’s war on Hamas, which has killed and wounded thousands of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip over the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We came here to let our voices be heard and our hearts and hoping we’ll change the way people see this conflict,” 70-year-old Manar Ghanayem told<\/a>The Washington Post<\/em> in the nation’s capitol, where demonstrators gathered in and around Freedom Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every human is entitled to basic human rights, not killing kids, not torturing people,” added Ghanayem, who traveled from North Carolina to march in D.C. with more than a dozen friends and family members, including young grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghanayem also said that she voted for U.S. President Joe Biden in 2020 but was outraged by his response<\/a> to the war. As she put it, “I can’t believe Biden is turning a blind eye to this and gave Israel the green light.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has to be the biggest pro-Palestinian march in U.S. history https:\/\/t.co\/m9k6JV7U6v<\/a><\/p>— Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) November 4, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
