THOUSANDS RALLY IN TEL AVIV AGAINST ISRAEL WAR ON GAZA
Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv to condemn the
incessant military strikes against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza
Strip, which have killed more than 1,000 people and wounded many more since
July 8.
On Saturday, as many as 5,000 people, mostly left-wing and anti-war activists, participated in the protest at the Rabin Square despite police calls urging the demonstrators not to attend the rally.
The protesters carried banners reading “End the Occupation” and “Stop the Massacre in Gaza.”
They also chanted anti-war slogans such as “Bury the rifles, not the children,” and “Enough killing,” and censured Israeli officials for what they called dragging Israel into repeated wars and military conflicts.
At least four demonstrators were arrested after they tried to block a nearby street.
Earlier in the day, pro-war activists called for a counter-demonstration but Israeli media reports say only a few dozen people attended the rally.
