As a result of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, nationwide protests occurred across the United States, including rallies, demonstrations, campaigns, and vigils. These demonstrations occurred as part of a broader movement of war-related protests occurring around the world.

In the first ten days of the war, the US held more than 400 related protests and vigils.[1] There were an estimated 180,000 demonstrators and protestors, with roughly even numbers attending events related to Israeli and Palestinian concerns.[1] US elected officials overwhelmingly attended more events in support of Israel. An estimated one-third of all anti-war protests were met with pro-Israeli counter-protesters, who at times were violent.[2] A Jewish man was killed by a Pro-Palestinian protestor.[3] By the second week of the war, the number of pro-Palestinian protests in the US outnumbered the number of Pro-Israel protests.[4]

Students in the United States reported fears of losing future job opportunities for engaging in protests against military action in Gaza.[5] More than 260 "incidents of suppression" were reported against individuals opposed to the war.[6] Palestine Legal, a non-profit representing individuals who lost their jobs for protesting for Palestinian rights, described the environment in the United States as "McCarthyite."[7] The ACLU urged US colleges to protect the free speech of pro-Palestinian and anti-war protestors.[8] The National Lawyers Guild condemned all attacks on pro-Palestinian activism at universities.[9]

Congressional staff reported receiving an overwhelming amount of calls and emails from constituents demanding their representatives to support a ceasefire. One staffer noted "The phone doesn’t stop ringing at any point in the day."[10]

Two thirds of Americans supported Israel according to polls.[11] However polls indicated that Democratic Party voters' position shifted over the course of the war, with a rise in pro-Palestinian support, particularly amongst younger voters.[12] An estimated 70% of voters between 18 and 34 disapproved of Biden's handling of the war.[13] Some Arab and Muslim Americans reported that they would decline to vote for Biden's reelection in 2024, due to his response to the conflict.[14] Other racial minorities, including African Americans and Hispanic Americans, disapproved of Biden's handling of the conflict as well.[15]

Sarah Abbott who helped organize a carol outside Senator Amy Klobuchar's home was quoted in CBS Minnesota saying, "Our government is funding this genocide, white Christians have historically and currently played major roles in the perpetuation of Zionism, and as people of conscience, we can't stand by silently."[23] Ceasefire carols were sung in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Louisville, Kentucky;[24] Salt Lake City, Utah;[25] and in at least 17 other cities.[23]
