Supporters of the Palestinian right in the United States closed the entrances to the Israeli consulate in San Francisco , California, USA, with iron chains.

Activists demonstrated today in front of the consulate, and tied themselves with chains at its entrances, in protest against Israel receiving about four billion dollars in aid taken from American taxpayers' money.

Participants from supporters of the American Green Party in New York State, during a protest, distributed posters to passers-by revealing the loss of American citizens from sums of money deducted from taxpayers' money, given to Israel, and the amount of interest that could have been used in projects in the United States.

According to one of the posters, this amount is sufficient to provide health insurance for more than one million and three hundred thousand American children or to house 450 thousand American families in homes for people with limited income.
