Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators from across the world turned out on the streets of London, Paris, Rome, New York, and other cities to call for an end to Israeli military strikes on Gaza. They rallied to voice their support for Palestinians building pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Below is a collection of images showing the protests held as the death toll from the 19-day-old conflict rose above 1000.

It's great that people are allowed to demonstrate for the Arabs in Western countries. Why shouldn't people be allowed to demonstrate in favor of Israel in Arab and Muslim countries? The Israelis, too, have suffered grief and displacement. Why should the world be allowed to forget the Jews, but not the Gazans?

@Solomon2
Of course the world should continue to remember the horrors of holocaust suffered by Jews and therefore condemn the modern day Nazis who are re-enacting those atrocities by murdering Palestinians in the open air prison of Gaza.

4000+ rockets have fallen on Israel, presumably sent by people not living in Gaza, eh? Why forget acts of violence by Hamas in this all-around tragedy of Gaza? The Gazans must embrace the messages of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela.

Do not be a cry baby after committing sin and getting paid back for targeting Israel with rockets. No matter what the root cause of conflict, targeting Israel with rockets means targeting civilians. As long as Hamas is not crushed by its own people and as long they use civilians to hide and attack Israel, Gaza will continue to get pounded , over course of several cease fires. If Hamas thinks targeting Israel with rockets will achieve anything they are wrong. Handful of Hamas top leadership is enjoying power and pelf at the expense of low run activists and civilian people so the would like to keep the current conflict active and continue with the pattern as it suits them. These useless protestors have been brainwashed to be so called secular, playing religion card. Israel Gaza conflict is not about religion, but about land/geography. Even if there were majority with other religions, conflict would have been similar, but of-course would have been solved long back without bloodshed, which is more in certain religious practices.

@Akhlesh. Quite true. Why is Saudi Arabia, the world's most richest and influential Islamic country silent when these atrocities are being committed against Hamas / Gazans? Do you think they finally understand who the true instigator is??

The picture of protest from Kolkata, India, says the Muslims are protesting.
Is it, or are they communists - or so called "Seculars".

@Solomon2 no one should be allowed to show support for israel anywhere in the world... israel is the occupier! It has killed almost a thousand palestinians so a far, most of whom are civilians (not hamas fighters) according to the UN!

Majority of protestor are immigrant from Muslim countries. Western countries are the biggest supporter of Israel . These immigrant know very well when they move to western countries. At one side they paying taxes which funding Israel and than protesting , hypocrisy at the best.

@zak In a similar vein what about Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Balochistan? Who is protesting for them.
And what about the minorities in Pakistan, does anyone care about them, Is anyone protesting for the recently killed Ahmedias and what about forced conversion.
For all those who think Kashmir is occupied by India than I would say the Muslims in reality have occupied Kashmir as well as the whole of Pakistan and Bangladesh, if you don't believe this read history, undivided India before Islamic invasion was a Hindu country with 'ZERO' muslim population.
It is an irony the converts(Mulsims) think that the non-converts(Hindus) are the illegally occupying their land whereas the truth is just the opposite.
If you think your fore-fathers came from Arabia than you are the occupiers, if you think you are the convert than think again who is the occupier, in this case I guess none.
