On the 9th of November, Palestine solidarity protesters gathered at the Boca Raton, FL offices of Israeli arms maker Real Time Laboratories. Supporters of the IDF (some in IDF T-shirts) counterprotested. The entire rally was very tense, sparking several partial running charges down the block and four arrests. All arrestees are now out, one of them without charges.

Just getting people out of the protest site afterwards was difficult: for both sides to withdraw at once is known to kick off some of the most intense confrontations at similar showdowns between fascists and anarchists. In the end, cops had to order the pro-IDF side to leave first and clear the are, after some of the Gaza solidarity protesters sat down and refused to forfeit the field to them.

This as extreme-right figures in Israel are calling for the use of NUCLEAR WEAPONS against Gaza!
