The French capital Paris witnessed a march condemning racism and fascism, with participants showing solidarity with the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n
Despite the rain, anti-racism demonstrators and supporters of Palestine marched on Saturday in Paris.<\/p>\n
Participants demanded an end to racism and fascism against foreigners and citizens of immigrant origin in the country.<\/p>\n
The demonstrators also expressed their support for the Gaza Strip, where Israeli attacks continue, and called for an immediate ceasefire in the region.<\/p>\n
Protesters chanted “This is not a war, it’s a genocide,” and carried Palestinian and South African flags.<\/p>\n
Protester Cl\u00e9mentine Martins said, “I am here every Saturday to condemn the ongoing genocide in Palestine, especially in Gaza.”<\/p>\n
Martins described the situation in Gaza as a “disaster,” noting that French President Emmanuel Macron “has so far taken no real action on this issue other than condemning it in words.”<\/p>\n
Martins pointed out that children in Gaza are losing their lives and suffering from a lack of food and medicine.<\/p>\n
She added, “Hospitals are being bombed and besieged, we cannot remain silent and inactive.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, protester Sarah, who preferred not to reveal her last name, said that demonstrating is the only way available to them to support the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n
She added, “We see that the government is not taking effective measures.”<\/p>\n
Sarah emphasized the necessity of always stopping the gunfire in Gaza but noted the difficulty of this due to the policies of Western countries.<\/p>\n
She called on France and the United States not to supply weapons to Israel and pointed to the use of hunger as a weapon in Gaza, affirming that this contravenes human rights.<\/p>\n
