French, Bangladesh Protests Against Israeli Attacks On Gaza

KABUL: (Middle East Press) Great numbers of protesters have held rallies in France and Bangladesh to condemn the Tel Aviv regime’s armed strikes against the Palestinians in the besieged enclave of Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, a group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators came together in front of the Pantheon in Paris to state their support for Palestinian resistance against Israel.

They carried Palestinian flags as well as placards depicting late Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, French World War II resistance leader Jean Moulin, and deposed Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, reading “Yesterday Nazis qualified Jean Moulin as a terrorist…. Today Zionists qualify the Palestinian resistance as terrorist! History will witness!”

The protesters also called for the boycott of all Israel-made products. They said Western misinformation machines try to make people forget about the seven-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators also lashed out at the French government for supporting Israel in its crimes in the blockaded Palestinian coastal enclave.

Elsewhere in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets on Saturday to express against Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

Protesters carried black flags and held banners, some of them reading “Stop Genocide in Gaza,” and chanted anti-Israel slogans.

Nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including 470 children, have been killed and more than 10,200 have been injured since the Israeli military unleashed deadly military attacks on the Gaza Strip more than a month ago.
