TEHRAN- The pro-Palestinian demonstrations drew large crowds worldwide on October 30.

People in Spain protested against Israeli war crimes once again on Monday.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Spanish cities to support Palestinians and call for an end to Israeli attacks on civilians.

In Madrid, the government estimated that around 35,000 protesters attended the protests, including various government ministers.

At the same march in the Spanish capital, Spain’s Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra called for an end to the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians.

Head of the far-left party Podemos, Belarra also criticized European governments, including Spain’s, for being “complicit” in “this planned genocide" and not doing enough to stop it. She is urging countries to break diplomatic ties with Israel and impose sanctions.

In Valencia, around 12,000 people flooded the street with the same goals, chanting slogans like “They are hospitals, not military bases.”

In Granada, around 1,000 people took to the streets, presenting a manifesto that began: “The criminal actions of Hamas deserve our energetic condemnation, but they cannot serve to justify the genocide that Israel is carrying out on the Palestinian people.”

This is the third week that people around Spain have taken to the streets to voice their support for the besieged and bombarded civilians in Gaza, Anadolu news agency reported.
Meanwhile, Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters poured onto the streets of Brooklyn, New York’s largest district to voice their anger at Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip. 

Home to between 1.6 and two million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Muslims, New York has for the past three weeks been rocked by demonstrations and rallies in support of the Palestinians.

A march in support of Palestine also passed through the streets of Warsaw. 

Several hundred people participated in the pro-Palestine march, reports the Gazeta Wyborcza daily. Some carried banners saying “Opposition to genocide is not antisemitism” and “Solidarity with the Palestinian resistance”.

Among those who spoke was Maciej Konieczny, an MP from The Left (Lewica), a group that is part of the opposition coalition preparing to form a new government following parliamentary elections earlier this month.

“The ongoing massacre [in Gaza] is an unjustifiable crime,” he said, quoted by Gazeta Wyborcza. “No one has the right to do what Israel is doing now.”

Since the intensified operation began on Friday night, Israeli airstrikes have hit more than 600 Hamas targets, including weapons depots and anti-tank missile launch sites, Israel said. Israeli forces massacred many Gaza civilians.

About a thousand Palestinians have been martyred in Gaza since Friday, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, bringing the overall death toll there to more than 8,000.

After two nights and a day of internet and phone service outages, Palestinian communications came back on Sunday. Across Gaza and beyond, Palestinians expressed relief as families were able to reach loved ones.
