Accusant la position des USA ainsi que du gouvernement français, les manifestants oscillent entre colère et désespoir.

A year of genocide

The protests aimed to highlight a year of genocide in Gaza while amplifying the call for Palestinian liberation.

Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags, chanted slogans, and displayed pro-Palestine signs as they marched to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the brutal Israeli aggression, which has resulted in the killing of at least 42,175 Palestinians and injuries to over 98,336 others.

Protesters criticized the double standards and selective enforcement of international law, emphasizing the need to hold the Israeli occupation and its officials accountable for the crimes committed against the Palestinian people and their lands.
