Here in the United States, tens of thousands of protesters demonstrated on Saturday against Israel’s attack on Lebanon. Protests were held in Washington, San Francisco, Los Angles, Seattle and Orlando. Among the protesters in Washington was Miriam Yasmin, a Lebanese-American from New Jersey.

• Miriam Yasmin: “We all here feel that United States has given the green light to Israel to go into Lebanon without any just cause. They had a plan. The plan has been implemented and God knows where it will end and they’re trying to separate the Muslims from the Christians, the Sunnis from the Shia and we are not separable. We’re all together.”
