Protests in New York City and Washington DC over US Support for Israel
Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters march in New York City following the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel. President Biden expresses support for Israel, but polls show split support among American voters, particularly across generations. The split was evident in large marches in Washington in November.
