On the 5th of December, supporters of Palestine held a silent die-in at the Embassy of Israel. The Embassy played loud music over their sound system. This was confirmed to have been Israel’s national anthem.

Only thing is, that anthem is somber enough to match the theme of the protest! A Palestinian Embassy supporting the protest could have played similar music by a different author with essentially the same result. Furthermore, the Israeli national anthem over posters of murdered children and child-size bodybags makes a statement of its own.

On the 2nd of December, Palestinians and their supporters gathered in a park in Tampa, FL, right across from the courthouse. Demanding justice they took to the streets, marching for a second time on the “Winter Village” Christmas festival at Carl Hixon Waterfront Park.

This time around, a big crowd was there-and Mayor Jane Castor, infamous for cross-training the Tampa Police with the IDF and promoting Israeli products in Tampa. Protesters called her out, chanting “Shame on Jane!”

Reports also emerged that both Jerusalem and Bethlehem in Palestine had to cancel their Christmas events due to the war. The shopping festivals in the US seem to be unaffected. Protesters reminded those who would listen that Jesus was Palestinian.

On the first of December, the cease-fire in Gaza broke down or ended as Israel resumed bombing Gaza. Protesters infuriated by the renewed slaugher descended on the Embassy of Israel in Washington DC.
