Interfaith coalition of 200 protesters demonstrates against Christian Zionist summit in Washington
An interfaith coalition of about 200 protesters, organized by Interfaith Action for Palestine, marched across Capitol Hill on July 6 to protest the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) national summit. The diverse group included Jewish, Christian, and Muslim participants wearing keffiyehs and kippahs, pushing strollers and walkers. The demonstration opposed CUFI's pro-Israel stance and US military support for Israel, highlighting the growing interfaith opposition to Christian Zionist theology and US foreign policy in the Middle East.
