Dozens of demonstrators took to Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, calling for an immediate end to U.S. military aid to Israel as the death toll in Gaza continues to climb. Chanting “Stop all U.S. aid to Israel” and “We want an immediate arms embargo now,” protesters condemned Washington’s unwavering support for Israel amid mounting reports of atrocities and mass civilian casualties.

The marchers handed out flyers detailing how American taxpayer money is fuelling Israel’s military campaign, which has devastated Palestinian communities and displaced over a million people. Signs urged Congress to take immediate action and halt the flow of weapons to a state accused of war crimes.

This demonstration is part of a growing wave of grassroots protests across the U.S., as public anger intensifies over a foreign policy many now see as complicit in genocide. From New York to California, citizens are demanding that U.S. support for Israel be held to account, not only in words, but in action.
