In London historic demonstrations in opposition to the Israeli aerial bombardment and following military invasion into Gaza have attracted record numbers of people from across the U.K. Multiple estimates, including the Guardian newspaper, estimate that around 100 000 people gathered in downtown London for the largest protest against the Israeli attack on Gaza on Saturday, January 10th.

Across Europe major protests have been taking place, not only in major world centers such as Paris or London, but also in other European cities such as Stockholm which saw thousands take to the streets in solidarity with Gaza. This photo essay presents images from a major protest in downtown Stockholm which attracted thousands who called for an end to the Israeli bombardment on Gaza.

Today is a day to watch history unfold before our eyes. But today is also a day to think about the ongoing struggle to make history, to achieve social and global justice, and to put an end to empire.

Two days ago, the same day we discussed violence, the ineffable Condoleezza Rice, a US official, declared that what was happening in Gaza was the Palestinians’ fault, due to their violent nature.

The underground rivers that crisscross the world can change their geography, but they sing the same song. And the one we hear now is one of war and pain.

Not far from here, in a place called Gaza, in Palestine, in the Middle East, right here next to us, the Israeli government’s heavily trained and armed military continues its march of death and destruction.

Montreal: Palestine onscreen

It’s an old adage in the film business that timing is everything, but the coincidence involving the Palestinian Perspectives documentary film series showing in the next couple of weeks at the Cinémathèque is truly odd.

The series, which features several different docs on issues facing Palestinians, screens on the next two consecutive Fridays at the Cinémathèque québécoise. The films were chosen and programmed last year, long before the current Gaza offensive by the Israeli military. “Now it’s become a crisis,” says Mary Ellen Davis, a filmmaker and co-programmer of the event. “But even before this, every day, the Palestinians have been under siege. They’ve been dealing with checkpoints, new settlements and the wall for some time now.”

Hier, au vingtième jour de l’attaque israélienne à Gaza, un groupe de montréalaises et de montréalais ont occupé le bureau du ministre du Développement économique du Québec Raymond Bachand, demandant au gouvernement Charest de cesser immédiatement ses liens avec Israël, plus spécifiquement de se retirer de l’accord Québec-Israël.

«L’accord signé à l’automne dernier par M. Bachand établi des liens économiques inconditionnels entre les deux pays» a déclaré Marc-André Faucher, porteparole de l’ASSÉ, représentant plus de 40 000 étudiants et étudiantes au Québec. «Cet accord ne comprend aucune mesure pour forcer Israël à respecter la loi internationale, mais il fournit un soutien économique et diplomatique pour les crimes de guerres qui sont présentement perpétrés à Gaza.»

The Canadian Left has taken a major step forward in its opposition to Zionism. On Saturday, Montréal held probably the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in Canadian history. Despite some ridiculous media reports, I estimate that there were between 12,000 and 17,000 (possibly as many as 25,000) people marching through the streets of downtown. “Jews, Christians, Muslims, anglos, francos, grandmothers and children walked together yesterday in the bitter cold to call for an immediate ceasefire in [Gaza],” noted the Montréal Gazette. The march was endorsed and organized by all three major Québec unions and most of the province’s social groups.
