PORTLAND (WGME) - Pro-Palestinian protestors took to Monument Square Park in Portland on Saturday, two days before the one-year mark of the Hamas attack on Israel.

That attack left about 12-hundred people dead, while 250 others were taken as hostages.

Since then, the Gaza health ministry says over 40-thousand Palestinians have been killed in the war.

Protestors in Portland were calling for the United States to stop supplying weapons to Israel.

“I am devastated by watching the destruction that's happening in Gaza and now Lebanon, Syria. It's chaos, utter chaos. And we're paying for it. It's my tax dollars that are paying for the weapons that are killing the children and women in Gaza and beyond,” said protester Mary Beth Sullivan.

And with the election just one month away, we asked protestors how the U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict is impacting their vote this November.

“We are very lucky in Maine because we have ranked choice voting. So, we can vote, for example for Jill Stein who is very opposed to conflict in Palestine and still vote for Kamala Harris without compromising that vote for Kamala Harris. But I’ll actually be voting for Jill Stein first and Kamala Harris second,” said protester Nigel Calder.
