New Yorkers Unfurl Huge Palestinian Flag From Manhattan Bridge During Gaza March

Thursday 21 August 2014



Palestinian supporters in New York hung a huge flag on the side of Manhattan Bridge as hundreds marched in a show of solidarity with Gaza.

The flag, which had the words "Gaza in our hearts. Boycott. Divestment. Sanctions," written on it, was hung on the south side of the bridge to make it visible to marchers on the Brooklyn Bridge at about 7pm local time, ABC 7 reports.

It was revealed as hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters marched across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan.

A news release said the march was intended to “connect the struggle of the Palestinian population to those of oppressed communities throughout the US", such as the protests in Ferguson, CBS New York reports.
