Both Jewish and Muslim organizations have come together for a rally in Midtown, Manhattan on Friday, calling for a ceasefire in the conflict overseas.
Earlier on Friday near City Hall, pro-Palestinian demonstrators prayed for peace and for an end to what they see as the occupation of Palestine."We are not murderers, we are not supporters of Hamas, Isis or any terrorist group, we do not support terrorism in any form or fashion," one demonstrator said.
"People have to be able to defend themselves. It doesn't mean that everything they do is accurate but people need to understand, what choice are they left with," Palestinian demonstrator Lamas Deek said. Many at the rally say that money is being used to oppress Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.
