London Rally

Tens of thousands of people rally in central London to protest Israeli military action in Gaza, and David Cameron’s support of the operations against Hamas rocket fire. During the demonstration, a female protester on the podium initiates a chant that Israelis consider to be a call for the destruction of their state:

From the river to the sea…

The crowd responds:

Palestine will be free

The protest’s organizer, Palestine Solidarity Campaign:

London has already shown its outrage at Israel’s attacks on the mostly refugee population of Gaza, with people turning out in their thousands last week. Today’s national demonstration will give people from across the country the chance to say enough is enough, Israel’s siege of Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian land has to end now.
