Washington D.C., New York, and Los Angeles among others saw protests Tuesday over the recent violence in Israel and the Gaza strip. All were concentrated outside the various Israel Consulate buildings.
While most remained peaceful, in New York, police officers had to intervene in some fights between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel activists as captured on video posted to social media.
