Pro-Palestine mass rallies took place in the United States and Toronto, Canada, condemning Israeli aggression against Gaza and marking one year since the start of the ‘genocide.’ Demonstrations spread across several American cities, demanding an end to the assault that has claimed thousands of Palestinian lives and left Gaza in ruins.
Activists gathered in front of the White House, urging the Biden administration to impose an arms embargo on Israel. In Toronto, protesters called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to stop arming Israel and recognize the Palestinian state. Speakers highlighted the world’s failure to hold Israel accountable for its crimes and continued support for its actions.
Human rights organizations and community groups joined the marches to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and demand justice. The protests aimed to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis and pressure governments to take action against the atrocities committed by Israel.
