There was an ANSWER rally in SF today, too, but I didn’t go (raining, family, busy, etc.)

But according to the SF Chronicle:

The protest remained peaceful until the main group arrived at Civic Center Plaza. There, a couple hundred pro-Israel protesters waving Israeli flags were waiting for the larger contingent, which included many pro-Palestine protesters.

The pro-Palestine group broke off from the larger demonstration to confront the Israel supporters, who were carrying signs including “Hamas, stop using children as human shields.” Both sides yelled angrily at each other and some protesters got into a physical fight, shoving each other. Police arrested at least two people.

I don’t have details yet, but I’m sure to get them soon!
