Activist David Solnit (wearing a beret) carried an F and a Free Gaza sign. The letters spelling Gaza could be turned to read Palestine.
Others carried signs calling for Egypt to open up the border and for the Gaza Freedom March to be allowed into Gaza.

She was brought by the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund to San Jose for medical treatment
