Pro-Israel demonstrators waved Israeli and American flags while Palestinian supporters protested in front of the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles during the evening of Jan. 2, 2009. Wilshire Blvd. and LAPD officials stood between the two sides. HuffPost World Photojournalist Jim Stevenson shares his photographs.

Why is our media dominated by one people? Especially roundtables and MSNBC. Diversity is the best way to get a more objective point of view.

Rebecca, this consulate in LA is RIGHT ACCROSS from the studio of The Young Turks radio show,

which is hosted by Cenk Uygur, a long time blogger on this site.

The protests are so close that you can hear the chants from within his soundproof studio.

Contact the show (ask for Ana Kasperian) if you want photos or interviews.

Im 99% sure they conducted some interviews or plan to of protestors outside of that consultate.

I protested today in front of a synagogue. There is a school next door.

I will not involve the children like Israel has done.
