Transcribed from the clipping

About 150 marched from Lake Eola through downtown Orlando. One banner reads STOP GENOCIDE IN THE WEST BANK AND GAZA. “We need a Palestinian homeland,” shouted Mohammad Abuasba, who led the ceremonies. Dr. Talal E. Hilal, a Bethlehem native whose relatives still live there, said: “We as Americans should stand against aggressions.”

The word is on a banner in the photograph. It is not in the reporter’s copy.
