In
solidarity with Israel London protest: “Thousands of people including
our formidable Biafran guys turned out in London on Sunday, for a rally
in support of Israel and the military operation in Gaza, and to protest
rocket fire at Israeli communities. The
crowd waved Israeli flags and sang Israeli songs as varied as
"Hallelujah", "Abanibi" and "Am Yisrael Chai". "We prefer peace," said
one of the organizers of the support rally, and the audience responded
with applause.
Mr Rafi, an Israeli living in London for 20 years, told the news Medias how impressed he was at the civilized nature of the demonstration, "This is a peaceful demonstration - understated, but powerful. It is precisely the calm, the order and the number of people show that Israel does not want war, do not want to chaos," said Rafi. Some protesters waved signs reading "Make love, not war" and "Yes to hummus, no to Hamas". "World opinion is part of the story, and the ability to present the Israeli side in a correct and authentic way is very important, There is no rational argument to be against Israel, unless if you're an anti-Semite. Israel is now fighting the war in Gaza for the whole of the West, not just for its own sake, and the West needs to understand that” Support rallies for Israel were also held Sunday in various parts of the United States.
Meanwhile, thousands also protested in London on Saturday to call for an end to Israeli military action in Gaza and "justice and freedom" for Palestine. The Pro-Palestinians also held rallies with thousands gathering in both Los Angeles and Chicago for the "Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine". In Chicago, protesters marched to the Israeli Consulate, and in San Francisco pro-Palestinian activists demonstrated opposite a support rally for Israel. "Hundreds of homes were destroyed, thousands were displaced," said Hatem Abudayyeh, a Palestinian-American organizer of the protest in Chicago. "This is not a war against Palestine; this is a war in Palestine."
