Global: Protests In Support of the Freedom Flotilla Continue

[Joanne98]

In the days following the Israel Defense Forces raid on the Mavi Marmara that left nine dead and numerous others wounded, the world has seen an outpouring of support for Gaza. Several countries, including Turkey, Ecuador, and South Africa, have recalled their ambassadors to Israel, while still others have called for investigations of the events by a neutral party. Nicaragua went a step further, cutting off diplomatic ties with Israel.

At the same time, demonstrations have been taking place around the globe. From Stockholm to São Paulo, activists and concerned citizens have taken to the streets to protest the violence and Israel's continuing blockade of Gaza.

In nearby Beirut, protesters were seen carrying Turkish flags in support of the Mavi Marmara.

2. Yes, there have been many.

They get picked up by the local media (usually) but the national media will never "promete" them like they "promoted" the reich wing nutter. Not in their economic interests, or those in their friendship/codependent/clique/club circles, to do so.
