Hundreds of Palestine supporters rally at San Diego County Administration Building

SAN DIEGO — The plaza in front of the San Diego County Administration building was packed on Sunday afternoon, as hundreds of people showed up in support of Palestine.

"I think it's very obvious that San Diego is supporting the Palestinian fight and you can see that reflected here today," said Ramah Awad, a volunteer with the Palestinian Youth Movement of San Diego. Roughly 1,000 people brought signs and dressed in support of Palestine, as the conflict between Hamas and Israel continues.

"You can imagine that people who have family in Gaza or people who feel connected to the Palestinian struggle are very upset at the news, and very upset with the ongoing support of the U.S. to Israel," said Awad, who has family living in the West Bank of Palestine.However, the people at the Sunday's rally feel differently."I don't think it serves anyone, whether they are Palestinian, or Muslim or Jewish, to be focusing in on the events of this week.
