Hundreds Protest U.S. Aid to Israel in Front of Senator Feinstein's San Francisco Office

In full view of downtown afternoon rush hour commuters and financial district high rise offices, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of Senator Dianne Feinstein's office in San Francisco yesterday to demand that the U.S. pressure Israel to a ceasefire from its current war in Lebanon.

Likely few if any of the protesters expect Dianne Feinstein do anything productive even as news of more and more atrocities committed by Israel in Lebanon come to light.

Instead, the majority of protesters appeared intent on expressing their sorrow for Middle Eastern war victims; to express their anger and disillusion with politicians who profess peace but abet war; to publicize opinions that get very little notice in the mainstream media; and to encourage others to work for peace.

Following are a few photos I took of the gathering.
