I can't seem to find any proof they actually happened. Maybe you can help out.

There were a few demonstrations shortly after Oct 7th - you know, protesting the immediate indiscriminate bombing of Gaza and in support of the long-standing Palestinian cause. My God they even had "professionally printed signs"! Heaven forbid, what low-lives, right?

It might be hard for some to understand, but people were actually upset about the 10,000 bombs dropped on Gaza in just the first week. Starting the DAY OF Oct. 7th.

Peace.
