Protestors calling for a cease-fire in Gaza took to the streets Saturday, marching through downtown Seattle.
Their actions blocked lanes of traffic, and some protestors even used their personal cars to shut down streets from public use.Organizers tell FOX 13 they initially started their demonstration at Westlake Center before coming to their final stop downtown near the Amazon Spheres."We started at Westlake Park at about noon," said Hossam Nasr with the group Palestinian Youth Movement. "We marched to Pike Place Market.
"The fact that we had one of the biggest attended marches for Palestine in Seattle since the start of this genocide proves that this policy of violence and oppression is not going to work, it does not intimidate us, it does not scare us."FOX 13 asked for clarification on what the group meant by "policy of violence and oppression" but did not get a straight answer.
