A protest was held outside of Richmond, Virginia's City Hall today to speak out against the Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla. According to NBC 12, at least 200 people showed up.
The protest started at 5PM. People brought signs condemning the actions of the Israeli state and demanding an end to American aid to Israel. Others brought Palestinian flags, anarchist flags, and PFLP flags. The protesters chanted "Free free Palestine," "End US aid," and The Partisan got its "War of liberation" chant picked up by the anarchists. That certainly made our day!
After the protest a few activists of both Arab and Jewish descent spoke about the crimes of the Israeli regime and demanded that politicians from Richmond and the national government take action against Israeli aggression.
