Large crowd gathers to show solidarity with oppressed Palestinians and to demand a real and permanent ceasefire
A large protest has filled streets in Liverpool’s city centre this weekend in a show of solidarity with Palestinians and a demand for a permanent and immediate ceasefire in Israel’s slaughter of civilians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.
Loud, but good natured – and growing as it went as more and more arrived and even bystanders joined it as it passed – the march set off from Liverpool’s Roman Catholic cathedral and filled Hope Street:
Swelling rapidly, the protest turned down Leece Street toward Bold Street:
Chanting shame on Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer alike for their support for genocide, it then filled Bold Street on its way to Derby Square to hear speakers call for justice and freedom in Palestine and a peace for all:
Solidarity from Liverpool to the people of Gaza and the West Bank against oppression and war crimes. Free Palestine.
