As the Israeli offensive against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip continued, protesters in the Middle East held demonstrations against Israel and in support of the Palestinians. In three days of Israeli strikes, some 300 Palestinians have died and, according to some reports, a thousand have been injured. But Western leaders blamed Hamas for the barrage of rockets fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip. They called for a durable ceasefire. Jim Bertel has a report from Washington.
