Thousand rally in US, Canada in solidarity with Gaza, Lebanon
In a powerful display of solidarity, tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets of Washington D.C., US and Toronto, Canada to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and Lebanon, two days before the one-year mark of "Israel's" genocidal war on Gaza. Chanting phrases like "End the occupation now...We want justice, you say how," one protester expressed her grief "over the loss of over 100,000 martyrs." Demonstrators also demanded that an arms embargo be placed on "Israel" for its genocide in Gaza. Protesters also condemned the intensifying Israeli aggression on Lebanon, which has displaced tens of thousands of Lebanese from South Lebanon as Israeli occupation forces attempt to execute a ground invasion of southern Lebanon; all of which have been foiled by the Lebanese Resistance.
