Gaza Flotilla Protest in Washington DC [VIDEOS]

Hundreds of people came out to the streets of Washington, DC, to protest the military attack of Israel over an unarmed humanitarian mission of nine vessels, that were bringing humanitarian relief to Gaza.

Gaza is a region of Palestine where over 410,000 Palestinians are facing harsh living conditions after 3 years of an Israeli-enforced blockade.

People protested around the world with over 10,000 people in Istambul [see some photos here and here]. In the U.S. there were protests in DC, NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and Miami.

These are videos I recorded at the rallies that started in DC around 3:00 PM at the Israeli embassy (Van Ness) and moved to the White House around 5:00 PM:

Gaza, Gaza, don't you cry!
Palestine will never die!

The U.N. Security Council is calling for an investigation on the Israel attack, and demanded the release of all detained flotilla activists. Meanwhile, the U.S. is the only country that still supports Israel.
