In Los Angeles, California, protestors burned an Israeli flag, assaulted a pro-Israel counter-demonstrator, and vandalized a War Veteran Cemetery.   In Florida, a proposed bill would prohibit state ties with the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whose executive director recently called Hamas Oct. 7th attack on Israel a source of "inspiration."
