I arrived at the protest in time to see a very large Palestinian flag being held up by some of the crowd.
The recent decision by Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was the issue that sparked yesterday’s protest. I missed the largest part of the gathering but there were still quite a few people in front of the court house on University Avenue – or more importantly, across the street from the American Embassy.
The flag was rolled up from both ends.
City TV dropped by as well. Every time anyone came near the reporter, she stopped and waited for people to pass. Then she started over. This was take 5 or 6 and once again, she stopped seconds after I took this picture. I’ll assume that she eventually got her story.

Good post, good photos Mary. It reminds me how appreciative we should be that we live in a City where so many differing points of view can be expressed peacefully and without triggering violence from those who disagree.
