A pro-Palestine protest was held on the Pentacrest in Iowa City on Sunday.
The protest was in response to the Israel–Hamas war that started last week.
There were multiple organizations involved in the protest, where supporters gathered with posters, signs, and Palestinian flags. They chanted “Free Palestine” and waved signs as cars drove past.
Many signs were directed at the U.S. government for providing Israel with munitions.
Newman Abuissa, chair of the Arab American Caucus, with the Iowa Democratic Party speaks his mind to event goers. Pro-Palestine protesters demonstrated at the Old Capital in Iowa City on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023.
