Supporters of Palestine gathered in front of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm in Sweden to protest the attacks on Gaza.
Protesters gathered in the Odenplan area at the call of numerous civil society organizations in Sweden, calling for an end to Israel’s attacks on Gaza, an immediate ceasefire, and the full entry of humanitarian aid supplies into Gaza.
Chanting slogans such as “Freedom for Palestine”, “Murderer Israel”, “Genocider Israel” and “Child-murderer Israel” in the capital Stockholm, the demonstrators later marched in front of the Israeli Embassy.
The protesters demanded an end to Israel’s months-long attacks on Gaza.
“We call on Swedish decision-makers to do something to stop Israel”
Speaking to AA correspondent during the protest, Swedish activist Krister Holm said, “Bombs are falling, women, children and civilians in Gaza are suffering, they are being killed and massacred by the Zionist army.”
Noting that the Israeli army is supported by the United States and Western European countries, Holm said, “That’s why it’s so important in Sweden to show solidarity with the Palestinians, who have the right to resist the occupation, who have the right to fight against the apartheid regime, who have the right to fight against settler colonialism.”
Emphasizing their support for the Palestinian resistance, Holm said, “We also call on the Swedes, who are in decision-making positions, to do something to stop Israel from committing genocide and crimes against humanity.”
Holm underlined that the media and authorities in Sweden were silent towards Israel and called for solidarity with Palestine and a boycott of Israel.
