Thousands of Americans have taken part in a couple of massive rallies in US States of Chicago and New York to express their support for the Palestinian people in the face of the "Israeli" aggression.

According to different estimates, up to 2,000 protesters took to the streets of New York on Sunday, carrying Palestinian flags.

The protests were organized by the NYC Students for Justice in Palestine, which is part of a wider movement called NY4Palestine. The protesters chanted "Free Palestine" as they made their way down Manhattan to the Times Square, where the crowd grew larger.

The protesters condemned the "Israeli" violence against Palestinians and its surge of aggression during the past few weeks.

Activists also joined the rally in support of the Palestinian cause and against "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aggressive policies.

Tensions rose at the Times Square as Palestinian activists were confronted by a pro-"Israeli" rally that was also held at the center of Manhattan. No major accidents were reported between the opposing sides.

Another rally in Chicago also attracted thousands of people who descended on the streets while bearing placards and Palestinian flags to voice their support for the oppressed nation.
Thousands gather for a march in Chicago, to express support for Palestinian people, October 18, 2015.

The large crowd, organized by the Coalition for Justice in Palestine, marched downtown near Congress and Michigan Avenue. They, too, demanded an immediate end to the "Israeli" aggression and occupation.

The protesters urged the US government to stop using their taxes to support "Israel". They also called for boycotting the "Israeli" entity and holding it responsible for its numerous human rights violations against Palestinians.
