Thousands of people have taken part in a massive rally in Britain\u2019s capital London to express solidarity with Palestinian protesters in the Gaza Strip and condemn persisting atrocities by the Israeli regime in the occupied territories as well as UK\u2019s inaction toward such violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The protesters gathered Saturday outside of British prime minister\u2019s residence on Downing Street and also voiced their anger at UK\u2019s silence versus the abuses being inflicted on Palestinians by the Israeli forces as the country\u2019s Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn slammed Western inaction over the regime\u2019s killing of over 30 Palestinians during anti-occupation protests in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The London protesters carried signs and waved banners calling for an end to the Israeli regime\u2019s brutal blockade on the tightly populated Gaza since 2007. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Stop the War coalition were among several organizations sponsoring the massive protest event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe silence from international powers with the responsibility of bringing a just settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict must end,” said Corbyn at the Downing Street protest rally.<\/p>\n

He further told the demonstrators that “the killing and wounding of yet more unarmed Palestinian protesters yesterday by Israeli forces in Gaza is an outrage,” underlining that \u201cfiring live ammunition into crowds of unarmed civilians is illegal and inhumane and cannot be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development came after Palestinian waged their annual protest march late last month towards the fence separating Gaza from the territories occupied by the Israeli regime to begin a six-week protest event dubbed \u201cThe Great March of Return,\u201d demanding the right to return for Palestinians driven out of their homeland.<\/p>\n

Palestine solidarity and anti-Israeli protest rallies were also waged in major Canadian city of Vancouver, where hundreds of protesters marched for hours across the city center, waving signs and shouting slogans condemning Israeli atrocities against Palestinian protesters and calling for a free Palestine.<\/p>\n
