the pro-Palestinian demonstration brought together tens of thousands of people in Paris

“Free Gaza, Free Palestine“, chant the demonstrators of the Parisian procession, almost a month after the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas. This Saturday, November 4, 19,000 people marched from the Place de la République to the Place de la Nation, according to the Paris prefecture. The CGT, which, like several other trade union organizations and certain political parties, called for demonstrations, for its part recorded 60,000 participants.

“Boycott Israel” Or “Israel is a terrorist state!“, we can read on certain signs. While Abdel demonstrates for the first time, he specifies: “When we are here, we are not pro-Hamas. We’re just so that innocent people don’t die. As we speak, people are being bombed. We can’t stay like this“The protester also believes that Israel’s responses to the Palestinian population are disproportionate.”We are dealing with people quietly at home who are not from Hamas, who have been living under embargo for 17 years. It is not possible !“

Karim also came to swell the ranks of the procession to denounce what he describes as “genocide“. It develops : “It’s a massacre. They are in a strip of 40 kilometers by 12 kilometers and we are shooting at them, we are bombing at all costs..” At his side, his companion, Afsa, adds: “I see children being massacred. For me the ceasefire is imperative.“

While the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced this Saturday that the death toll in Gaza was approaching 9,500, Emmanuel Macron is talking about a humanitarian truce and planning a humanitarian conference for Thursday November 9 in Paris. A derisory initiative decides Mathilde Panot. “I’m waiting for the President of the Republic to finally speak about a ceasefire“, asserts the MP for France Insoumise. She also recalls that the ship sent to Gaza by France can only accommodate four injured people and asks why Emmanuel Macron is not proposing a resolution to the United Nations.
