Cape Town - Hundreds showed up to join the Palestine Solidarity Campaign Cape Town (PSC-Cape Town) as they march Parliament, in Cape Town CBD, on Tuesday in protest against the attacks on Palestinians since the weekend by Israeli armed forces.
Hundreds of Palestinians were left wounded on Monday, as Israeli forces stormed Masjid al Aqsa in Jerusalem. Rubber bullets, tear gas and sound bombs were used on worshippers on the grounds.
“It is a protest demonstration for supporters of Palestine’s liberation to express ourselves against what’s currently happening in Jerusalem and the broader issues of ending Zionism and the genocide of the Palestinian people,” said PSC-Cape Town chairperson, Martin Jansen.
