The March 20 rally was supposed to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, but in fact another issue was dominant: the Israel-Palestinian conflict. There was little doubt what side people were on.


One of the many booths selling anti-Israel paraphernalia. Notice how Israel doesn't exist on these maps. By "End the Occupation" the protestors mean "End Israel as a concept: Palestine from the river to the sea."


A lot of the imagery and verbiage recalled the anti-Semitic blood libel.


This guy's got all bases covered: Saddam Hussein's flag, the Palestinian flag, and those bloodthirsty Israelis.


Pro-intifada shirts were everywhere.


We are?


Speaking of the "wall" -- there was a mobile anti-wall brigade in the march, complete with cardboard wall segments that spelled out "Israel's Wall Must Fall." Here a couple of views of it as it went by.





Nearby was a cardboard Israeli tank that was paid for with my tax dollars. I managed to snap a couple shots before dodging out of the way.





Speaking of dodging out of the way: here are a couple of friends of someone who didn't.





This guy is at every single rally.


A contingent of Palestinian supporters marching by and chanting. A video of their chants can be found on the "Movies" page.


"No War for Israel," but war against Israel is fine.


One of many signs expressing a similar sentiment.
