Pro-Palestinian supporters take part in a demonstration in central London (File photo)
London, March 20 (RHC)-- Outraged by the harrowing images of renewed carnage in Gaza perpetrated by the Israeli military, protesters have come out in their hundreds to assure the Palestinians that they are not alone.
One protester told reporters: "My heart goes out to you. I cry for you. We stand for you, and we will continue to stand for you."
Organizers of the protest said that in full view of the world, the new massacre of more than 400 Palestinians follows weeks of a lull in the Western-backed genocidal war and Israel's enforcement of a total aid blockade on Gaza for more than two weeks, raising concerns over the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
The British government policy wontinues to support Israel and ignore the Palestinian plight no matter which political party is in charge. As public pressure grows, the UK government's support for the Israeli regime remains ironclad, even as it admits the regime is in breach of international law.
Another protest organizer said: "Our message to the British government, and all of the Western governments, is have a look at what your people are demanding. They are demanding a real ceasefire, and you can make Israel abide to [sic] a ceasefire."
"The Israelis cannot act without the diplomatic support that you're giving them. ... They can't carry on killing thousands of people without the guns, and the weapons, and the jet bombers, which you are supplying them."
"You can stop this bloodshed, and you need to do it now."
