On the 2nd of March in Orlando, Florida, pro-Gaza marchers again took to downtown. Some kind of event may have been taking place as downtown was busy-and cops aggressive at trying to contain the march. Bike cops lined up nose to tail blocking side streets at seemingly every crossing. They also attempted to hurry up a sidewalk crossing while the march funneled onto a sidewalk narrowed by scaffolding. They even threatened the march when they deemed the march had stopped somewhere on the sidewalk. These cops were trained by Israel and can be considered IOF troops when deployed against Palestine protesters.

The 2nd of March was an international day of action for Gaza, due to expectations Israel would launch an all-out attack on Rafah that day. As of sunset pon Marfch 2 EST, that attack seems to have been delayed. If so, credit can probably go to Aaron Bushnell for creating “unfavorable conditions” for Israel’s “special military operation” in Rafah.
