Thousands of people protested on Saturday in several American states, demanding an end to the Israeli occupation, an end to Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, and condemning the United States' support for the Israeli occupation.

Thousands participated in the demonstrations held in Washington, New York, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and San Diego.

Palestinian institutions had called for large-scale participation in these marches to amplify Palestinian voices before decision-makers in the American administration, calling for a cessation of US support for Israeli occupation and for stopping the aggression against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

According to Palestinian American activists, following a campaign of "listener complaints", NPR and the BBC dropped advertisements for a critically acclaimed new book about the war on Palestine.

Hilton Hotels was pressured into canceling the Campaign for Palestinian Rights event in Houston at the end of October by The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce. Rashida Tlaib was scheduled to be the main speaker at the event. 

Duvi Honig, the chamber’s founder and CEO, claimed that the conference was for “Hamas supporters” and accused Tlaib and other speakers of being “notoriously proud Jew-haters."

Ahmad Abuznaid, director of the USCPR, a coalition of more than 300 groups opposed to the occupation, disclosed that when contacted by Hilton, the group was told it had to pay $100,000 for security within 48 hours. Hilton also told them they were receiving calls to cancel the event.
