Protesters hold up banners, flags and placards in front of the national Gallery in Trafalgar Square during a demonstration in support of Palestinian people in Gaza, in London, January 13, 2024
PRO-PALESTINE protesters gathered across the world in a Global Day of Action over the weekend to demand a ceasefire as the bombardment of Gaza reached 100 bloody days.
The Stop the War Coalition said millions of protesters marched in more than 120 cities, across 45 countries and on six continents on Saturday in opposition to Israel’s murderous assaults on Gaza and the bombing of Yemen by the United States and Britain.
“The attacks on Yemen by the US and UK represent a dangerous escalation of the war in the Middle East,” the group said.
Given the recent rejection of peace proposals by Israel the world must provide an immediate and resolute response to force accountability on Gaza, argues RAMZY BAROUD
The catastrophe unfolding in Gaza – where Palestinians are freezing to death in tents – is not a natural disaster but a calculated outcome of Israel’s ongoing blockade, aid restrictions and continued violence, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
