Various of protest STORYLINE: At least a thousand people marched in Washington, DC on Saturday, protesting against the Israeli offensive on Hamas and the Gaza population. The protest started with speakers on a stage in a park across from the White House. Marchers then made their way down streets in Washington, headed for businesses they deemed sympathetic to the Israeli cause. Those on the list included the Washington Post newspaper and aircraft maker and defence contractor Boeing. There were also some supporters of Israel present at the protest. At least 814 Palestinians, roughly half of them civilians, have died since conflict broke out on December 27, according to Palestinian medical officials. Thirteen Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have been killed.
