SACRAMENTO —

Dozens of Palestinian sympathizers made their views known; the violence in Gaza must stop.

With the death toll now pushing 900 civilians—many women and children—these demonstrators expressed their anger at the government of Israel.

They don’t buy the arguments that Hamas is using Palestinian civilians as human shields. They say it`s about an appropriate response.
