Thousands of protesters were marching through downtown Chicago on Sunday in support of Palestinians as Israeli forces continue a ground invasion in the Gaza Strip.
Protesters were carrying Palestinian flags and signs reading “Save Gaza's children” and chanting “Free, free Palestine.”
Salam Khatib, 19, of Valparaiso, Ind., participated in the march with seven of her family members.
"We just hope people will expand their knowledge of what's going on in Palestine," she said. "It just doesn't make sense to me."
Protesters made their way west along Upper Wacker Drive, turned south on State Street and then continued west along Madison Street before stopping outside a bank between Canal and Clinton streets, where speakers addressed the marchers.
Mohamad Nasir, vice chair of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, spoke to the crowd outside the bank on Madison.

Chicago - the epicenter of the world’s biggest problems.
Hate to look for little things, but it says Sunday, that is tomorrow
My thoughts exactly! I watched a demonstration in my downtown some years ago by muzzies and screamed out the same expression. Some people around me were surprised at my outburst. I was saddened at the lack of a response from fellow citizens.
And these morons brought their children who were dressed up like little suicide bombers..these people breed like roaches thats the problem
well, Hamas firing 400+ rockets a day at Israel doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, either. Neither does Hamas barricading civilians in their homes so they can be blown up make a lot of sense.
‘Tell it to Hamas’, you protestors, and you’ll maybe get your damned peace. Ball ‘s in THEIR court.
ZOMBIES needs a new definition..
There be zombies out there..
Usually democrats but not always..
What makes a person GLAD for high energy prices.?.
AND tolerant of a death cult.?.
It might elicit a different response today after so many years of Mr. Obama and his depredations such as the child invasion, IRS, Benghazi, V.A. scandal, NSA, etc...
I hate Illinois Nazis.
The bozos in Chicago don’t have anything better to do? This is the problem with a nanny state. Too many morons and maggots with too much free time on their hands.
They should support “Palestine” by moving there and joining the battle.
Was FairyKhan there too?
The pic is from last Sunday. I read somewhere it was only hundreds, not thousands, that is unconfirmed but not surprising, the lying media always jack up the stats!
These crazy people should worry about their own backyard. More have been shot on the streets of Chicago this year than on the streets of Gaza City.
The story is a week old, from 7-20-14
If the Palestinians laid down their guns, there would be...peace.
If the Israelis laid down their guns, there would be...what?
