Children's March For Palestine
View EventDate: Dec. 2, 2023
Organizers: MAS, PYM LA-OC-IE, Al-Awda, MSA, Muslim Parents Association, PSL LA, ANSWER LA, SoCal SJP, MPower Change
Location: 205 N Spring St., Los Angeles, CA
Activists at the event chanted: "Free, free Palestine! Free, free, free Palestine!"
“Free Palestine!” is a chant used to call for Israel's destruction, acting as a shorter version of "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!" It was shouted during multiple deadly attacks on pro-Israel activists in 2025 in America. It has been used to vandalize synagogues and other Jewish-owned property, and is described as a "battle cry for the death of Jews.”
The event was in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. The outcome of the movement's goals would result in Israel's destruction. Within hours of the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, the BDS movement renewed its call for an anti-Israel boycott.
