KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Roughly 300 people gathered near the Country Club Plaza Saturday evening for a pro-Palestinian rally that turned into a march.
The rally started at 5 p.m. at Mill Creek Park, but as crowds grew, the group moved around the edge of the Plaza.
Ahmad Haha attended the protest. He and his family are from Palestine.
"My family had to leave the homeland so we don't have to be killed by the Zionists. So we're just here to let our voices be heard and hopefully we can do a change," he said.
