Massive Pro-Palestine Demonstrations Erupt Across US Campuses

Hundreds of pro-Palestine supporters gathered at the Town Center in Jacksonville to plea for a ceasefire amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. The rally comes after a resolution calling for de-escalation and a ceasefire was voted down by the Florida House of Representatives, with only two "yes" votes. Organizers expressed disappointment in elected officials who voted against the resolution, stating that it called for safety, dignity, and condemned antisemitism, Islamophobia, and racism. They hope more officials will support the call for a ceasefire to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
