- description: Two rallies faced off Sunday in Kirkland, Washington State. Israeli expats came to support their country in its war on Hamas, while pro-Palestinian rally participants came to express support for Gaza. Tensions flared, with Israeli protesters accusing opposing rally participants of supporting terrorists. Local police used paintball guns and pepper spray irritant to disperse the clashing parties that eventually settled on opposite sides of a road. Pro-Palestinian rally participants carried posters demanding release of all Palestinian prisoners and decrying U.S. military aid for Israel. Participants in the pro-Israeli rally, displaying flags of Israel and the United States, carried posters with images of victims of Hamas’ attack. Some said they were shocked to see anyone in the United States openly supporting those who deliberately killed and kidnapped whole families. After more than two hours, both rallies dispersed peacefully. https://www.voanews.com/a/tensions-high-as-israeli-and-palestinian-expats-clash-at-rivaling-rallies-/7302632.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
