Protests Erupt Worldwide Against Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have sparked widespread protests across the United States, with demonstrators condemning the attacks that reportedly killed over 400 Palestinians. In Tucson, activists criticized the University of Arizona for its ties to companies providing military support to Israel, while in San Francisco, protesters outside the Israeli consulate called for an arms embargo. UCLA saw a protest aimed at urging the University of California to divest from companies associated with the Israeli military, emphasizing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Meanwhile, protests in Chicago echoed these sentiments, demanding an end to the bombings and condemning the Israeli government's actions. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has defended the airstrikes, stating they target Hamas and are part of a broader military strategy. The protests reflect a growing sentiment against the violence and a call for accountability regarding U.S. involvement in the conflict.
