Supporters and opponents take to the streets

CITIES around the world hosted fresh protests yesterday both in support of and opposed to Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip as the bombing campaign entered its third week.

Thousands of students, trade unionists and politicians marched through the centre of Madrid to denounce the Israeli action in Gaza and call for peace.

Protesters marched between the Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta del Sol, brandishing placards that read “Stop the genocide in Palestine” and “We are all Palestinians.”
