From Liverpool to Cape Town… The World Rises: Stop the Genocide in Gaza
In a scene that reflects the widening circle of global rejection of the Zionist aggression on Gaza, major capitals and cities across the world witnessed massive demonstrations over the past hours, denouncing the genocide waged since October 7. Protesters called for an immediate halt to arms exports to the Israeli entity and the imposition of sanctions.
Britain: Thousands Challenge Labour Party with Gaza Slogans
In Liverpool, thousands gathered in front of the central station on the eve of the Labour Party Conference, chanting loudly: “Stop the genocide!” and waving Palestinian flags. Demonstrators demanded the UK government immediately halt all arms deals with “Israel.”
Germany: “All Eyes on Gaza”
In Berlin, the capital turned into a sea of demonstrators as more than 30,000 people joined a march under the slogan “All Eyes on Gaza.” Protesters carried banners reading “Stop the massacre” and “Freedom for Palestine.” The event was organized by nearly 50 parties and human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, under the watch of 1,800 police officers deployed across the city.
In Düsseldorf, similar rallies swept through the city center, with thousands arriving by bus from different German states under the banner: “We will not forget Gaza — Freedom for Palestine and all oppressed peoples.”
Paris: A Moral Duty
In Paris, a massive demonstration marched through the city streets. Protesters raised the slogan: “Genocide in Gaza is a crime against humanity,” urging the French government to protect humanitarian aid convoys and flotillas and to pressure the occupation to stop its assault.
South Africa: Gaza in the Conscience of the Free
In Cape Town, more than 3,000 demonstrators joined one of the largest marches in recent months, demanding an immediate severing of diplomatic and trade ties with “Israel” and the closure of its embassy. The scene evoked memories of the downfall of the apartheid regime, as protesters handed parliament a formal petition calling for sanctions similar to those once imposed on apartheid South Africa.
A Growing Global Outcry
These demonstrations coincided with the ongoing bloodshed in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of more than 66,000 martyrs and left 167,000 wounded, most of them children and women. Meanwhile, famine has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.
These global movements underscore that public opinion increasingly views the events in Gaza as a full-scale genocide. Popular pressure, sooner or later, will translate into international prosecution and the isolation of the Zionist regime — just as the apartheid system in South Africa was once dismantled.
