The Excavator: A Day of Protest

There was a huge protest today in the Israeli town of Sakhnin, led by 100,000 Israeli Arabs, an outpouring unseen in years. From the article:

Ibrahim Zabidat, who led the rally, said during his speech, "The Israeli killing machine must stop. I call from here to the people in Gaza and say: Don't be afraid, don't give up, block them with your blood in order to build the state of Palestine, whose capital is Jerusalem. We, the people of Palestine, will continue to defend it through battle with our soul and blood and in peace."

There was a deluge of support for Gaza across Europe as well. 25,000 people protested in Paris.
