Protesters Rally at Seattle Space Needle to Demand Gaza Ceasefire
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Seattle, hundreds of people blocked the main entrance of the Space
Needle observation tower Sunday in a Jewish-led peaceful act of civil
disobedience calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Protesters flew
a 40-foot-tall banner that read "Ceasefire Now!" in the air buoyed by
large balloons. They're demanding Washington Senators Patty Murray and
Maria Cantwell, both Democrats, join growing congressional calls for a
ceasefire. The action was organized by the Seattle chapter of Jewish
Voice for Peace.
