NYC: Protesters Hang Palestinian Flag from Manhattan Bridge

HeadlineAug 21, 2014

More than 2,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians and hundreds of them children, have been killed since Israel began its offensive six weeks ago. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel have died. Protests against the Israeli assault on Gaza have continued across the country and around the world. Here in New York City on Wednesday, a massive Palestinian flag was unfurled from the Manhattan Bridge which connects Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Protesters marched parallel to it along the Brooklyn Bridge. We’ll have more on Gaza later in the broadcast.
