CLEVELAND â A group of demonstrators gathered in Crocker Park Friday evening to protest and demand an end to Israeli assaults on Palestinians from Sheik Jarrah to Jerusalem to Gaza.
A rally was held on the sidewalks outside of Crocker Park Mall where Palestinian-Americans and supporters stood in solidarity with signs and calls for peace.
The latest clashes between Israel and Palestine began a month ago with an Israeli move to block some Palestinian gatherings at the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. After those restrictions eased, tensions over a plan to evict dozens of Palestinians from an east Jerusalem neighborhood continued to fuel confrontations.
