The headline may be an exaggeration, but not by much.

Jewish Voice for Peace in Boston got together with Students for Justice in Palestine to hold a protest on Saturday that, judging from the photos, barely attracted 20-25 people.



I couldn't find any local coverage of this non-event.

The poster for the event listed five sponsoring organizations, and the Facebook page said 25 attended, with most of the "interested" staying away.




Despite the anemic turnout, this protest was covered in Palestinian and some Arab media:

Wafa (official Palestinian news agency)

That's at least 12 news sites for a tiny protest. 

Media can make anything into a story if they want to. Clearly, Palestinian media want Arabs to think there is a groundswell of American support for them during the riots in Israel. 

UPDATE: Apparently, Israeli media is susceptible to the same tendency to exaggerate anti-Israel (government) protests. Lahav Harkov of the Jerusalem Post tweeted a response:
One of the times I went to the White House last year, there were about that many Israelis protesting against Netanyahu outside, and they were in basically every Israeli media outlet. It was bizarre.
