    Video report: Protesters at support rally for Israel offer their views




    A vocal group of about 250 protesters gathered Sunday outside the Sabes Jewish Community Center in St. Louis Park to oppose recent Israeli military action in Gaza.

    Members of the Jewish community were among those involved in the protest, which was organized by Lisa Albrecht, who is affiliated with the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network.

    In this video, we hear several of them, as well as several Palestinians, speak about the situation in Gaza.

     

     

    Inside the Jewish Community Center, about 750 were on hand to hear Minnesota politicians and religious leaders speak in support of Israel's current actions in Gaza. Video here.

     




    Gaza history lesson
    Above, Dr. Peter Rachleff, professor of history at Macalester College in St. Paul, offers a quick history lesson about Gaza and talks about our society's view of race.
