NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — "One, two, three, four, stop the killing stop the war!"

In downtown Nashville Saturday afternoon, hundreds gathered to remember those killed in the attacks during the past week in Palestine, as well as over the last 75 years.

They chanted and marched down Broadway towards the Tennessee Capitol.

"A loss of human life is a loss of human life; a Palestinian life, an Israeli life, and American life, it's all equal. We are losing lives, we're losing humans," a protestor said.

This was the second event held by Palestinian activists, with a vigil held last Tuesday.
