Protesters Across Europe Urge Intl. Intervention to Stop Gaza Genocide

By Staff, Agencies

Thousands of protesters in Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm have demanded their governments break silence on "Israel’s" genocidal war in Gaza, urging immediate international intervention and sanctions against the occupying entity.

In Berlin, thousands of people assembled at Oranienplatz on Saturday to protest "Israel’s" intensified airstrikes and ground invasion of Gaza.

The demonstrators chanted slogans like “Freedom for Palestine,” “Germany finances, 'Israel' bombs,” and “Stop the genocide.”

German protesters asserted that no person or state has the right to deny an entire people their rights, displace them, or commit acts of violence against them. Some German protesters of Jewish descent also joined the rally.

In Paris, advocates of the Palestinian cause congregated at Bourse Square, demanding embargos on "Israel" and unhindered access for humanitarian aid convoys into Gaza.

Parisian protesters highlighted the devastating famine gripping Gaza due to the "Israeli"-imposed blockade by banging empty pots and pans while chanting slogans such as “'Israel' is a murderer, Macron is an accomplice” and “There is genocide in Gaza; we will not remain silent.”

In Stockholm, hundreds of people gathered at Odenplan Square in response to calls from various civil society organizations that urged the Swedish government to take action against "Israel’s" ongoing war crimes in Gaza.

Protesters marched to Sweden’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and chanted “Freedom for Palestine” and “No to Netanyahu’s Plan.”

Swedish activist Lars Ohly, who attended the protest, said it is unacceptable that Sweden remained silent in the face of "Israel’s" genocide against Palestinians.

Ohly emphasized that over 50,000 people have lost their lives in Gaza, including more than 15,000 children, and demanded that the Swedish government take decisive action against the ethnic cleansing and occupation of Gaza.
