Socialist Worker newspaper, Denmark Today, the City Hall Square in Copenhagen was the frame for yet another protest against Israels military escalation. About 1000 people gathered to protest against the massive violence and repression that the Palestinian people are subjected. It was a beautiful and very strong protest, where tears were felled and ribbons were made. The promoter was Fathi El-Abed from the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association and there were speeches from among others Holger K. Nielsen from the Socialist Peoples Party, Finn Sørensen from Red-Green Alliance, the Palestinian ambassador Amro Alhourani and Fathi himself. A female tourist who randomly came by, asked for the microphone and spoke about the violation of common human rights. Fathi El-Abed said to the Socialist Worker newspaper: It is not the right way. This is not peace that Netanyahus government is keen on, and I am afraid we are going to see several days or even a week to where it is more and more violent and at the same time we all know that it is Nitanyahu and his government that stands in the way of a peaceful resolution and peace negotiations, which he torpedoed a few months ago. it is forgotten now that there was a peace process and some hope . Even now where it is clear to everyone that no matter what mistakes the Palestinians might make, it is the occupying power and supremacy against an oppressed people, so Im not confident for the foreseeable future. Zala Aytimur who studies at the University of Southern Denmark said: Im here primarily as a Kurd and can relate to the Palestinian cause., We have an obligation to support a people who are oppressed. The Israelis have committed human rights violations also against the agreements signed when the State of Israel was formed. They have intervened taken the areas that were not part of the agreement, which is completely unacceptable. The entire world has a responsibility and must send a strong signal that they will withdraw from the land areas. the Zionist ideology must be fought with all power possible. A young woman, Sasam Garmiyani said: We have other nationalities than the Palestinians, but it is an important matter. We are here as the least we can do to show our solidarity. To give them a little hope, so they know that we have not forgotten them. I think it would be good if people boycott Israeli goods., I wish so much that people stop and take a position. There are so many Jews who fight for the Palestinian cause and who is anti-Israel, and it melts my heart. This is the second manifestation within a short time and two support events are planned. Development of resistance to the Israeli occupation continues. Copenhagen on 17 July at. 17.00 from Jarmers Square and Copenhagen Town Hall Square on 25th July at. 17.00 on the International Quds Day. An international day when people from all over the globe regardless of background or faith demonstrates in support of the Palestinian people. Elias Hamburger de Haas and Anne de Haas.
