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?

Yes. They have died down a little due to having a constant barrage of domestic issues to protest as well, but they're still happening. You probably haven't seen much, because it's being heavily suppressed by the media here. There's large protests going on somewhere in the US every single day about something, mostly about the unlawful arrests and deportations.

FYI: It's the middle of the night in most of the US, so there probably won't be a lot of American responses to this for a bit.
