💠Worldwide Rallies Condemn Israeli Terrorism💠
LONDON (Dispatches) -- Tens of thousands of people attended a pro-Palestine march in central London to oppose the United Kingdom’s continued support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
The massive protest came days after the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukur by the occupying regime of Israel.
Marchers began at Park Lane amid a heavy police presence, as the Metropolitan Police face continued pressure to “manage” Palestine solidarity protests.
Weaving their way through the heart of London towards parliament, the protesters called for a ceasefire in Gaza and chanted “free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, demanding equal rights for Palestinians between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.
For nearly 10 months, hundreds of thousands of protesters have attended rallies in London and elsewhere in the UK after Israel began its invasion of Gaza.
The Zionist regime’s aerial and ground invasion has devastated much of the territory, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, turning it into an uninhabitable hellscape.
Entire neighborhoods have been erased. Homes, schools and hospitals have been decimated by airstrikes and scorched by tank fire. Some buildings are still standing, but most are now battered shells.
On Friday, U.S. President Joe Biden said the assassination “doesn’t help” ceasefire talks, adding that he was “very concerned” about rising tensions in West Asia.
On Friday, the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, called for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and urged governments around the world to uphold international law.
His comments were a response to an advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice two weeks ago, which addressed Israel’s presence in occupied Palestine.
The court found that Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian territories was “unlawful” and that its “near-complete separation” of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning “racial segregation” and “apartheid”.
“The [ICJ] makes definitively clear that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful and needs to end as rapidly as possible,” said Welby.
He added that at a time when the world is marked by increasing violations of international law, governments need to show an “unwavering commitment” to the ICJ’s decisions.
“We must apply the law without fear or favor in all circumstances,” Welby said.
“But for too long it has been applied and upheld in a selective manner that threatens our common peace and security. Now is the time to reverse that deeply damaging trend.”
While delivering the court’s findings two weeks ago, ICJ President Nawaf Salam stated that the occupying regime of Israel must make reparations to Palestinians for damages caused by its occupation, adding that the UN Security Council, the General Assembly and all states have an obligation to not recognize Israel’s occupation as legal.
