About 40 people, outside the Long Beach World Trade Center (1 World Trade Center), on Ocean Blvd., east of North Golden Ave.,on Friday, Jan. 12, protested the U.S. and British airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
While on the sidewalk, they chanted using call-and-response. They chanted: Hands off Yemen; Resistance is justified when people are occupied; Israel, Israel, we charge you with genocide; Israel bombs, USA pays, How many kids have you killed today?; Free, Free Palestine.
Many of the protesters wore a keffiyeh, a head scarf signifying Palestinian resistance, while some carried Palestinian flags or their signs.
