Among the protesters was Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, who, along with his family, led the peace march demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza. Speaking with conviction and authority, Kapos drew on his own experiences to denounce the ongoing atrocities against the Palestinians.
Thank you London.
