At a rally on Thursday night on Division and Main streets, both Palestinian supporters and Israeli supporters waved signs and flags in protest of the recent violence surrounding the Israel-Palestine Conflict.
The Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane organized the rally in an attempt to urge citizens to “call on the Obama administration to exert diplomatic pressure on Israel to bring about an immediate cease-fire and to initiate an investigation of Israel's misuse of U.S. weapons against Palestinians in this and previous attacks.”
Local supporters on the Isreali side also rallied, protesting the rockets fired by Hamas militants at Israel.
Spokane photographer Bethany Mahan captured the event.
