By Jose Mejia

As millions of Americans celebrated July 4th, human rights advocates marched along the National Mall exposing Isreal's current occupation of Amercian politics and media. Crowds were enraged as a shackled Lady Liberty was lead down Pennsylvania ave from the White House towards the US Capitol, Washington DC by Bibi Netanyahu.

We were literally verbally attacked repeatedly and several attempts were made to physically attack us, which was stopped by the large police escort. Protestors reminded the crowds that Americans do not want to send money to Israel, but instead want to fund education, healthcare and housing.

Protest organized by a DC grassroots network :
