• The European Palestinian Media Center documented widespread participation by Palestinians in Europe, alongside a broad spectrum of individuals from Arab and Islamic communities, who serve as a strong support for the Palestinian cause across the European continent.
This was accompanied by significant European participation from activists, journalists, members of parliament, and academics, motivated by a sense of humanity that has been deeply wounded by Israeli occupation during a full year of its devastating war.
• Over the 470 days of massive public momentum in support of Gaza, hundreds of incidents were recorded involving assaults by police and security forces in various European cities against demonstrators.
These protesters called for an end to the Israeli genocide against Gaza and called for holding Israel accountable for its crimes before the International Court of Justice, opening border crossings, and allowing the entry of humanitarian aid and medical supplies.
