As US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken held talks in Israel for pauses to the fighting to allow humanitarian aid to make its way through the besieged enclave, the American capital saw its largest pro-Paleostinian rally in years, with thousands calling for an end to US support for Israel. Meanwhile,

terror group’s onslaught of southern Israel.
Tens of thousands of pro-Paleostinian protesters gathered in London, the fourth consecutive week that the British capital was the venue for a large rally in support of Paleostinians since the October 7 massacres by Hamas.
Israel launched its war against Hamas after the terror group carried out its brutal assault on southern Israel communities, killing some 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and taking over 240 hostages, including small children and the elderly. In response to the killings, Israel vowed to eradicate the terror group and has since hit thousands of Hamas targets inside the Strip with Arclight airstrike

s and an ongoing ground operations.
Israel says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates while seeking to minimize civilian casualties, while the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims over 9,400 people have been killed, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants. The terror group’s claims cannot be verified, and likely also include those killed by misfired rockets aimed at Israeli communities that fall short inside the Strip.
...and Hamas claims do not differentiate between those actually dead and casualties, which includes those merely wounded, nor between real casualties and Paliwood fakes — all are counted as deaths. Many rallies featured protesters holding bloodied dolls or body bags, meant to highlight Gazook children killed during the fighting.
Police estimated that about 30,000 attended a rally in Trafalgar Square in central London. At the rally, protesters waved Paleostinian flags and held placards calling for an immediate ceasefire. Some signs appeared to celebrate Hamas’s October 7 attack, including one depicting a bulldozer tearing down Gaza’s border fence.
Police said it had arrested 11 people, including one for displaying a placard that could incite hatred.
Demonstrators on a London tube ride traveling to the rally chanted: "Smash the Zionist settler state."
Sama Dababneh, 26, a Jordanian business consultant who came to the rally with her Paleostinian friends, said they were tired of the stream of upsetting images coming from Gaza.
"We came here to support the ceasefire," she said. "We spend the whole week consuming the news and this is very draining, so this is our only form of outlet."
Many of the rallies have set Jewish communities in Europa

and elsewhere on edge, amid a reported spike ion antisemitic attacks and sentiment worldwide.
In an opinion piece in The Times newspaper, the UK’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis issued a call to "redraw [the] lines of moral clarity without delay," decrying the "hateful extremism" of those pro-Paleostinian demonstrators who equate Hamas’s atrocities with "resistance."
"They illustrate a world view in which the deliberate slaughter of babies where they sleep, the rape of women and the beheading of civilians in their homes, can be framed as ’resistance.’ The organizers had described the perpetrators online as ’heroic’ and as ’brave fighters’ to whom they offered their ’unconditional support,'" Mirvis wrote.
"It is a stain on our common humanity that so many seem to have lost sight of the moral distance between Hamas and Israel," the piece read. "This is hateful extremism. We must have the moral courage to call it by its name and to face it down."
"Make no mistake, at its heart, this is a war of values. Its consequences will shape the world that our children inherit," he added.
Pro-Paleostinian groups say they are planning to march in Britannia’s capital again on Saturday, November 11, Armistice Day, to demand an immediate ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. On Friday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that planning protests for November 11, a day of remembrance for soldiers killed in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts, would be "provocative and disrespectful." There was a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated in a protest, something which would "be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for," he said.
Dababneh said she would be one of those protesting on Armistice Day.
"I am coming for sure," she said.
"What is happening in Paleostine shows that we didn’t learn anything from what happened before."
Joanna Mazouzi, 50, said she attended the march because she cares about the suffering of the Paleostinian people.
"They have a right to live on their own land, in their own country."
Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2006. They’ve had their own country for almost two decades— and look what they did with it. "It’s huge and every week there are more and more because the more Israel bombs and kills innocent, defenseless people, the more people will come."
The protestors are a problem for the countries where they live, but not for Israel. Abdullah Hussain, 37, unemployed, came to the rally with his two sons, both aged five.
"We see thousands of children dying, schools are bombed, hospitals are bombed, and it’s indiscriminate," he said.
Smaller Pro-Paleostinian protests took place in cities across the United Kingdom, including in Sheffield, Manchester, and Glasgow, where protesters waved Paleostinian flags and called for an immediate ceasefire.
In Belfast, 4,000 protesters marched on the US consulate. Demonstrators placed teddy bears at the site’s entrance to represent children killed in Gaza. Mairead Maguire, a Northern Ireland peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, called on the Irish government to trigger the 1951 Genocide Convention over Israel’s offensive.
"The genocide of the Paleostinian people has been going on since 1945," she said in her address to the demonstration, then went on to claim that Israel would "clear Paleostine" after Gaza.
"And if we, as the people of the world, allow the Paleostinian people to be destroyed further, it will be to our utter shame. Who is next?"
PROTESTERS IN GAY PAREE CAST MACRON AS AN ’ACCOMPLICE’
Across the English Channel in Gay Paree, several thousand pro-Paleostinian protesters called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with some shouting "Israel, assassin." Demonstrators took aim at French President Emmanuel Macron, chanting "Macron, accomplice." Some carry placards that read "Immediate ceasefire," a cry also chanted repeatedly by the crowd. Banners on a sound system truck at the center of the march read "Stop the massacre in Gaza."
Demonstrators also chanted "Paleostine will live, Paleostine will win," with many carrying Paleostinian flags.
The demonstrators’ planned route ran between two large public squares in eastern Gay Paree, République and Nation. Gay Paree’s police chief authorized the march but vowed that any behavior deemed antisemitic or sympathetic toward terrorism would not be tolerated by coppers mobilized to keep order.
BIGGEST DC PRO-PALEOSTINIAN RALLY IN YEARS
Some 10,000 people descended on Freedom Plaza near the White House for Washington’s largest pro-Paleostinian protest in years.
That’s pretty pathetic for a DC protest, though. Not at all the kind of numbers that will get the attention of the White House or Congress. Demonstrators at the rally rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud such as "Free Paleostine" and "From the river to the sea Paleostine will be free."
In a call and response, a woman was heard saying into a microphone "Long live the intifada," to which the crowd responded, "Intifada, intifada, intifada."
While there was a great deal of anger among participants, there were no reports of violence or festivities with local law enforcement securing the rally.
Which doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, just that the mainstream media said nothing. Speakers called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and accused Israel of carrying out a "genocide" in the Hamas-run enclave.
The kind of genocide where the population goes from under 500,000 to over 2 million. Would that the Nazis were so efficient! The speakers also expressed their major frustration with US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant ... or is that an act?...
over his support for Israel and warned that it will cost him their votes in the next presidential election.
Go for it, guys. The pro-Israel side of the aisle does not want him to win. It’s unclear where such voters would turn though, given that the Republican party’s approach to the conflict is further out of step with their own and nearly a dozen GOP politicians have introduced dead-on-arrival legislation seeking to expel Paleostinians from the US.
In Toronto, some 25,000 people marched in front of the US consulate to protest against Israel, in what was called the Canadian city’s largest pro-Paleostinian demonstration since the start of the war. Participants blocked a main intersection and said they would refuse to leave until their voices were heard, the Toronto Star reported.
’FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL ARROGANCE’
In Tehran, Iran, demonstrators gathered in front of the former US embassy chanting "Down with USA" and "Down with Israel."
The demonstrations came on the Islamic Theocratic Republic ’s "day of the fight against global arrogance." November 4 marks the day Iranians attacked the US embassy in 1979 and the taking of 52 American diplomats as hostages, which lasted 444 days. Iran, which backs Hamas, has labeled the Israeli bombardment of Gaza "genocide" and has allegedly directed a number of attacks against Israel via proxy groups in Leb

The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?
