By Haaretz and The Associated Press

Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators turned out on the streets of London, Paris, and Oslo on Friday to call for an end to Israeli military strikes on Gaza.

Several thousand people crowded the streets outside the Israeli Embassy in west London, waving placards that read "Gaza: End the Siege" and "Freedom for Palestine." The crowds blocked an entire road, and several protesters managed to climb on top of a double-decker bus stuck in traffic, but police said the protest was largely peaceful.

Norwegian news website The Local reported that some 3,000 protestors gathered in front of the Norwegian parliament in Oslo calling for the end of violence in the region. The event was organized by the Palestine Committee of Norway and other organizations.

A smaller protest took place in Paris Friday, where about 100 people demonstrated near the French Foreign Ministry.

People around the world demand an end to Israel's assault on Gaza

Social justice activists are taking to the streets in protest against Israel's military aggression in the occupied Palestinian territories, organising demonstrations in cities around the world to demand an immediate end to the Israeli assault on Gaza.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have called for people around the world to mobilise on Friday, 11 June in an international day of rage.

Thousands of protesters have already gathered in major American cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington DC, demanding not only an end to Israel's current assault on Gaza and its on-going occupation of Palestine, but also cutting off US military aid to Israel, which amounts to more than $3 billion every year.

Protests have taken place or are being organised in cities like Austin, San Diego, New Orleans, Portland, Hartford, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Albuquerque, Omaha, Syracuse, Dearborn, Indianapolis, Nashville, Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, to name a few.

Canadians have already organised or are planning protests in major cities including Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.

In Europe, London saw a mass demonstration last Saturday and protesters will assemble outside the Israeli embassy again on Friday.

Protests have also taken place in English cities such as Portsmouth and Sheffield, and further afield in Glasgow, Derry, Belfast, Galway, Paris, Strasbourg, Berlin, Malmo, The Hague, Athens, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Rome, Turin, Florence, Geneva, Brussels and Istanbul, with many more protests planned today and in the coming days.

'Israeli aggression'



A rabbi stood on top of a double-decker bus in west London today as part of a pro-Palestinian protest against "Israeli aggression" in the Middle East.

Demonstrators brought traffic to a standstill outside the Israeli Embassy near Kensington High Street during a protest against what they see as Israel's increasingly violent treatment of the Palestinian people.

The rabbi held a banner which read: "Judaism rejects the Zionist state and condemns its criminal siege and occupation".
