Thousands of people protested in Chicago's Federal Plaza and in front of the Israeli Consulate to support Palestinians amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas. The protest, organized by the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine, drew thousands to condemn the rising death toll in Gaza from Israeli airstrikes. Jewish groups Like Jewish Voice for Peace also participated, saying American Jews need to pressure Israel to stop the "genocide of Palestinians." The multi-hour protest involved chanting, singing, and praying in front of the Israeli Consulate building to call for Palestinian sovereignty and an end to US military aid for Israel.
