"Massive Pro-Palestinian Rally Shakes Downtown Houston"

Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in downtown Houston to show support for Palestinians and protest against the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. The rally was fueled by anger over the intensifying Israeli siege and Hamas' surprise attack on Israel. Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and held signs with messages such as "Save Palestine" and "No more tax dollars to Israel." The director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Houston reported an increase in Islamophobia in the area since the attacks began.
