Anti-Annapolis Summit protests held in U.S. cities

In the U.S., pro-Palestine activists gathered in a number of cities, including Annapolis, to demand that the world leaders gathered behind closed doors address the basic rights of the Palestinian people.

Counter protests against the Annapolis meeting took place in Annapolis, Boston, Los Angeles, and Charlotte, North Carolina.

At least five groups held protests in Annapolis itself, including Neturei Karta, an orthodox Jewish group that is opposed to the state of Israel for biblical reasons, and supports the human rights of the Palestinian people to exist on their own land.

Demonstrators say their reason for protesting the summit is because the meeting has more to do with strengthening President Bush’s war in Iraq and war plans against Iran, than attaining justice for the Palestinian people.
