Anti-Israel demonstrations held in London
Thousands of protesters have gathered on the streets of London in protest against Israel’s onslaught on Gaza, Press TV reports.
Amid growing global outrage at the Israeli assaults on Gaza, thousands of Londoners took to one of the busiest streets in London demanding justice and freedom for the people of Palestine.
Protesters expressed anger at Israeli aggression and the mainstream media's biased coverage of the events in Gaza.
“More and more young people are coming up to me and saying, ‘look, I’m only believing what I’m seeing with you guys when it comes to the situation on the ground in Gaza, because if I were to watch just one of the mainstream channels, you would think that this is a situation where the sides are equally armed,” Press TV correspondent Amina Taylor said.
This is while on July 15, thousands of people gathered for anti-Israel protests outside the London headquarters of the state-run British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
The demonstrators said the BBC is biased in its coverage of Israel’s onslaught on the coastal sliver.
Protesters say the BBC is smart about the way it shows some Palestinian views and some Israeli views but the media giant’s coverage always seems to blame Palestinians.
Similar protests were held in countries across the world including in Iran, India, the US, Tunisia, Italy, Pakistan and Indonesia.
More than 340 people, including women and children, have been killed and nearly 2,400 injured since Tel Aviv unleashed its offensive 12 days ago.
Gazan homes, mosques and schools are also being targeted by the Israeli army. According to the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights, more than three-quarters of the victims are civilians.
