The demonstrators made a short tour of financial institutions in midtown Manhattan that are supporting Israeli policies financially and aiding in colonization.  The demonstrators stopped at 2 banks and walked through the diamond district where many were glad to have a heavy police escort since the business owners appeared to become

agitated and threatening.  In front of one of the banks 6 people performed an act of civil disobedience by having a die-in after spraying the bank and street with fake blood.  Using passive resistance, the police were forced to lift  and carry them to the police van to arrest them.

And the march …

*

In the afternoon several thousand people of every age, race, and ethnicity

converged on Times Sq. for a rally against the Gaza massacre.  Families came

with their flags, posters, and beautiful children.  After the rally everyone

marched across busy 42nd St. to the Israeli Consulate. They got considerable

support from people standing aside to watch the marchers pass.

Diamond merchants seem to have a problem with the marchers … I guess zionism is their BEST FRIEND
