Demonstrations are continuing across the globe, demanding that Israel be held accountable for the deadly attack on the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla.

On Friday, around 7000 demonstrators took to the streets of Stockholm to protest against Israel’s act of aggression on the high seas.

In the southern French port city of Marseille, home to France’s largest community of North African origin, demonstrators called on the government to cut relations with Israel. They chanted a number of slogans, saying that Israel is a criminal country and France must cease its diplomatic, commercial, and other relations with Israel “which is behaving as a real pirate.”

The Committee for Solidarity with Palestine and Communist Party of India (Marxist) members held an anti-Israeli protest march in New Delhi.

In Rome, pro-Palestinian demonstrators called for a boycott of Israel.

Demonstrations were also held in Istanbul, Ankara, San Salvador, El Salvador, Iran, Malaysia, and Syria, where protesters burned the Israeli flag and called on the international community to take swift action against Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military attacked the Freedom Flotilla in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea early on May 31, killing at least 19 people on board the six ships, including eight Turkish citizens, and injuring about 50 others.

The fate of three other Freedom Flotilla activists is still unknown.

Israel also arrested nearly 700 activists from 42 countries on board the Freedom Flotilla, which was attempting to break the siege of Gaza in order to deliver 10,000 tons of humanitarian assistance to the long-suffering people of the territory.

The three-year Israeli blockade of Gaza has deprived the territories’ 1.5 million residents of food, fuel, and other necessities.
