Protesters call for boycott of Israeli goods and an end to military action

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Irish cities on Saturday to call for an end to Israel’s military action in Gaza and a boycott of Israeli goods.

Marchers chanted slogans, including: “Stop killing children“, “Stop shelling hospitals” and “Boycott Israeli goods” while some carried placards with: “end the illegal blockade”. Others highlighted the large number of children killed in the attacks.

The latest crisis in the conflict has so far claimed the lives of more than 1,060 Palestinians, most of them civilians, while 45 Israelis have died, 43 of them soldiers.
