Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside a campaign rally in Omaha, Nebraska, where Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is scheduled to speak later today. The group, consisting of approximately a dozen protesters, was seen waving Palestinian flags and holding signs condemning US support for Israel's military operation in Gaza. The rally is set to take place in La Vista, Nebraska, where Walz and other state Democrats are expected to address attendees this afternoon.
Among the messages displayed by the protesters were calls for justice for Palestine, a ceasefire, and an arms embargo on Israel. A banner in front of the group read 'Justice for Palestine,' while another sign accused those complicit in genocide, stating 'Shame on those complicit in genocide.'
This demonstration highlights the ongoing tension surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign as she navigates the complexities of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Pro-Palestinian protesters have disrupted multiple campaign events since Harris joined the Democratic ticket.
In an effort to engage with the Arab American community, Harris campaign officials recently held a meeting with Arab American leaders in Michigan. This outreach initiative aims to connect with a significant constituency in a crucial battleground state.
