The European Palestinian Information Center’s camera also documented the broad participation of Palestinians in Europe, as well as a wide spectrum of members of the Arab and Islamic communities, who are considered a supporter and advocate for the Palestinian cause on the European continent. This was in addition to the broad European participation of activists, media professionals, members of parliament, and academics, who came out of a sense of humanity that the occupation has destroyed during its 600-day destructive war, in which it uses starvation as a weapon and prevents the entry of aid. During the 600 days of massive public support for the Gaza Strip, hundreds of cases of police and security forces assaulting demonstrators in various European cities were documented. The demonstrators demanded an end to the Israeli aggression on Gaza, accountability for the occupation’s crimes before the International Court of Justice, and the opening of the crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid and medical supplies.
