Thousands of Palestinian supporters took to the streets in San Francisco.
Following the escalation of conflicts in Gaza, thousands of people gathered in San Francisco and declared their support for Palestine.
According to ISNA, the participants in the San Francisco protests asked the US government to stop sending weapons to the Zionist regime. They also demanded attention to the loss of lives of the oppressed Palestinian people due to this war.
An American citizen whose relatives live in Gaza said: “Humanity does not seem to be considered for the Palestinians and the people of Gaza, children and the elderly.” We ask the American legislators to see the reality of this genocide and stop funding Israel.
As Operation Al-Aqsa Storm enters its ninth day, a UN official has warned that Palestinians are facing “mass ethnic cleansing”.
Francesca Albanese, the UN’s independent rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied territories, said in a statement: “There is a serious risk that what we are witnessing is a repetition of the Nakbat in 1948 and the disaster of 1967 but on a larger scale.” . The international community must do everything it can to prevent this from happening again.
According to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, as a result of the Zionist killings in Gaza, 47 families including 500 Palestinians have been killed.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza added: “The number of martyrs in Gaza as a result of eight days of Zionist aggression has exceeded the number of martyrs in the 2014 war in 51 days.” The ministry’s statement said: “The number of martyrs in Gaza indicates that the Zionists have started ethnic cleansing against our nation.”
