Dozens of protesters gather outside the Federal Building in Rochester on Wednesday afternoon. A couple of hundred people protested outside the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building on State Street in Rochester Wednesday afternoon, in support of Palestinians being injured during the recent increase in violence in the Middle East. One of the protesters, Basem Ashkar, called on U.S. politicians to stop support to Israel. “Israel must stop killing Palestinian people and their children and stop destroying their houses, enough is enough,” Ashkar said.
