Thousands of Palestinian supporters took to Michigan Avenue in Chicago on Saturday afternoon. They say their voices are not being heard, and that they want an end to Israeli oppression and want more help from the U.S."Israel war crimes and crimes against humanity have reached a peaking point for the people of Gaza," one person said.
The group with thousands in attendance marched along Michigan Avenue, many with signs in hand and their native flag. Their demands include the U.S. no longer fund Israeli missions and they want acknowledgment of what they call a decades-long takeover. "Tell me one time in history that peace happened under oppressed people. It's never happened anywhere," one demonstrator said."I couldn’t even enter my village. My village is surrounded by 360 walls. It’s not just one concrete wall, but there are two walls," Hassan said. "My teacher just messaged me two days ago, saying they have nowhere to go.
"Justice and freedom is the only solution in Ukraine, in Palestine, in South Africa, and for everyone in the world," another protester said.All the news you need to know, every day
