Protesters confront Zionist celebration in Los Angeles

Zionists in the Israeli American Council of Los Angeles organized an event at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to celebrate 77 years of their murderous occupation of Palestine. The well-heeled attendees had to walk past a group of loud protesters who kept Palestinian flags and protest signs aloft, and chanted until their voices were hoarse. 

They were a young crowd that reflected the multi-national character of L.A.’s population. Judging by the Keffiyehs worn by many, and the many t-shirts with a variety of anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist messages, these were participants in the powerful movement that has grown up on campuses and in cities across the country during the horrible genocide against Gaza. 

The Dolby Theater is centered in the area of Hollywood where thousands of tourists crowd the sidewalks each day, and the anti-genocide action was warmly received by the great majority walking by.
