Draft:Protests against the Israel-Hamas conflict in the United States

  • Comment: Potentially notable, but 2023 Israel–Hamas war protests already covers the topic. Also, the naming of the article is off. Most protesters are protesting for either side, not against the war itself. F.Alexsandr (talk) 18:25, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

In the immediate aftermath of Hamas' military invasion of Israel on October 7th, and the ensuing military counter-offensive by the Israelis, code-named 'Iron Sword', hundreds of demonstrations, fueled by sentiments of solidarity with Israel and outrage against Israel, erupted across the United States on college campuses, in major cities, and at embassies and consulates of Israel. Demonstrations were planned in the immediate aftermath of the United States' unequivocal declaration to provide unwavering support to Israel's retaliation against Hamas' aggression, underscoring the deep-seated support within the American populace for Israel. The protests have taken place regularly since October 7 in major US cities, such as New York, Chicago and Washington DC, cities with large Palestinian and Arab diasporas. These cities have large Palestinian and Arab immigrant populations, and the protests see large participation from these minority groups.[1]
