A few hundred protesters gathered in New York's Times Square after Israeli airstrikes pounded Gaza and killed more than 400 people on Tuesday (March 18).
The newest attack shattered nearly two months of relative calm since a ceasefire began, as Israel warned the onslaught was "just the beginning."
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators vastly outnumbered Israeli sympathizers during the rally, which began after normal working hours.

00:00are the desperate attacks of a losing, a losing project.
00:05And while they think that they can scare us by abducting our leaders,
00:13Gazza, you make us proud!
00:15Gazza, you make us proud!
00:17Liberation is near!
00:20Say it clear and say it loud!
00:22Say it clear and say it loud!
00:25Gazza, you make us proud!
00:27They're on the verge of agreeing to a ceasefire,
00:30and then they're killing 400 people overnight.
00:35I mean, it just seems like very strategic and really very evil, really.
00:42Too much.
00:43And they were convinced, they were convinced with this magnitude of violence.
00:49The breaking of the ceasefire I think was bound to happen.
00:53And so that's why you're here?
00:55Yeah, we knew this protest would happen on the Hamas side,
01:00and we came to show that we're, you know, on this side.
01:05Brothers and sisters, comrades and friends!
01:09Everybody who is a human being should be here to stand on the right side of the history.
01:14And we as Jewish people, we are here to counter the Zionist propaganda lies
01:19that this is a religious war.
01:21This is a war between Jews and Muslims.
01:23No, this is false. This is Zionist propaganda.
01:26We lived in peace with the Palestinian people for hundreds of years
01:29until the movement of Zionism came in.
01:32So it's this brutal occupation for over 76 years
01:35which is responsible for all this bloodshed.
01:49This is absolutely unacceptable.
01:52It is Israel and the United States that have green-lit a return to genocidal airstrikes
01:57after more than two weeks of a full total siege.
02:00No water, no desalination plants, no electricity, no medicine.
02:04This is an attempt to destroy an entire population.
02:07You can see the anger and outrage in the crowd.
