LONDON, United Kingdom -- Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied in London, Paris and Berlin on Saturday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza after Iranians took to the streets against the United States and Israel.
Amid ongoing bombardments by Israel after the deadly Hamas attack on its territory last month killed 1,400 people, the British capital saw a large turnout in support of Palestinians for the fourth consecutive week.
"We came here to support the ceasefire," she said."We spend the whole week consuming the news and this is very draining, so this is our only form of outlet." Retired 75-year-old Algerian Keltoum Alouache said she turned out"for the children of Gaza and Palestine". They set ablaze an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu as well as the US and Israel flags in front of flag-waving crowds.
