Are there pro Palestine protests in the US? (aussie.zone)

I hear about them in basically every corner of the anglo-sphere except the US. The ones in the UK are in the news all the time and here in Melbourne I have a crowd of 100's march past my apartment every other month. Anybody in the US have experience with them? I assume they have a relatively small Palestinian population due to their overt Israeli support, is that true?

Wasn’t there the soldier that put himself on fire and the campus occupations last year?

If i recall there actions where heavily oppressed. With the current state of political chaos it might also be a case of shifting priorities from foreign to domestic problems.

The news barely reported on that soldier. Wouldn't be surprised to hear there are more protests they're refusing to cover.
