Hundreds protest Israel's attacks on Gaza in Stockholm
On Saturday, hundreds gathered in Stockholm to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and the blocking of humanitarian aid. Jewish activist Dror Feiler said the international community turned a blind eye to violations in Gaza.
On Saturday, hundreds gathered in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza, ceasefire violations and restrictions on humanitarian aid access.
Responding to calls from civil society organizations, demonstrators gathered at Odenplan Square, carrying Palestinian flags, chanting anti-Israel slogans and demanding the lifting of the blockade on Gaza so that aid could be delivered without hindrance.
The president of European Jews for Peace, Swedish-Jewish activist Dror Feiler, told an AA correspondent that the participants took to the streets to defend the rights of Palestinians, justice and equality.
Feiler said, "We want not only a cessation of hostilities but a 'just peace.' A peace not based on justice is not real peace; on the contrary, it lays the groundwork for another war."
The activist accused the international community of turning a blind eye to violations committed in Gaza, stating that over the past three years, "genocide, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the destruction of Gaza and the killing of children, civilians and the elderly" have taken place.
Feiler stressed that adherence to international law and the rules of war established after the Second World War has weakened, and that major powers apply the rules in line with their interests.
The Jewish activist noted that the protests in Stockholm have been ongoing for about three years, and that they would not back down despite being accused of antisemitism.
Feiler said, "We have no problem with Jews or with any religion or race. We are against oppression, whoever commits it. Criticizing the Israeli government or Zionist ideology does not mean antisemitism."
