The five-hour march-rally went on peacefully despite many provocations by Pro-Israeli demonstrators. Active peace marshals from ANSWER-LA thwarted the moves of some of the provocateurs.
There has been a series of protests by the ANSWER-LA and the Free Palestine Alliance since Israel began the bombing and the invasion of Gaza since the last two weeks.
More than 10,000 people also protested in San Francisco on the same day. The ANSWER LA and the Free Palestine Alliance (FPA) called the Regional march protest on Saturday, January 10 at 12:00 noon in front of the Westwood Federal building, 11000 Wilshire/Veteran street.
The Los Angeles protests coincides with the national day of protest and solidarity with Palestine -- all over the world and the United States especially in Washington DC where more than 30,000 people march in protest.
