All Eyes on Gaza: World Enraged by ‘Israel’s’ Resumption of Genocide

Protests erupted across the globe in response to “Israel’s” resumption of airstrikes on Gaza, which have resulted in the killing of at least 400 Palestinians in less than 48 hours and intensified the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region.

Thousands of people in cities worldwide have gathered to demand an end to “Israel’s” ongoing genocide in Gaza, calling for international accountability, an end to US and European support for Tel Aviv, and a free Palestine.

Stop bombing children

In London, protesters gathered outside Downing Street for an emergency rally, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Stop Arming Israel, Free Palestine.” Activists also condemned the US and British governments for their complicity in the violence. “What Israel did last night was done with the permission of the US and probably the British government too,” one speaker remarked. The rally featured a speech demanding an end to the killing of Palestinian children.

In Manchester, demonstrators expressed unwavering solidarity with Palestine, with banners reading: “Stop Killing Children” and “End the Genocide Now.” For over 15 months, Palestinians in Gaza have faced relentless violence, and Manchester protesters stood firm, calling for an end to the violence and international action to halt the atrocities.

Dublin will witness another emergency protest at Dáil Éireann, where activists are expected to rally outside the Irish parliament, demanding the Irish government impose sanctions on “Israel”. Organizers from the Collective Action for Palestine group urged Irish officials to take action in response to the unfolding genocide in Gaza.

In Toronto, thousands marched up Yonge Street, the world’s longest street, demanding an end to “Israel’s” bombardment of Gaza. Protesters raised Palestinian flags and called for global intervention to halt the massacre. In response to the growing protests, some local Zionist groups attempted to suppress the movement, but the solidarity for Palestine continued to build momentum.

 

The United States saw similar demonstrations, with pro-Palestinian protesters gathering outside the White House, demanding an end to US funding for “Israel’s” military operations in Gaza. Activists held signs saying, “Free all Palestinian political prisoners” and “Stop bombing children, Free Palestine.”

Berlin also witnessed significant action, with a protest calling for an end to the Israeli aggression in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Demonstrators held Palestinian flags and chanted for an immediate cessation of violence, amplifying calls to end the Israeli occupation.

In New York City, thousands of activists took to Times Square for an emergency protest, denouncing “Israel’s” breach of the ceasefire agreement and calling for an immediate halt to the Israeli war on Gaza. Protesters held signs condemning the massacres and chanted for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Israeli police violently crushed an anti-war protest in occupied al-Quds

Even in “Israel”, anti-war activists took to the streets of occupied al-Quds, defying the government’s crackdown on dissent. Israeli police used extreme force to disperse the protest, declaring it illegal, but the demonstrators held firm, displaying banners that read, “Stop BB’s war,” referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Morocco calls for end to normalization with ‘Israel’

In Morocco, protests reached a fever pitch as thousands took to the streets in major cities such as Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech, and Fes. Demonstrators voiced their outrage against the resumption of the Israeli assault on Gaza. The protests called for an end to Morocco’s normalization agreement with “Israel”, with the rallying cry: “The people want to end normalization.” Protesters also voiced solidarity with Gaza, chanting, “O Gaza, we haven’t forgotten you, the people of Morocco stand with you.”

The staggering death toll and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza have fueled widespread anger and calls for international intervention to stop the bloodshed and ensure justice for Palestinians, who have been suffering from relentless bombing and a suffocating blockade for almost 16 months.
