Thousands protest in Brussels against Gaza blockade

11:53 18/08/2014

An estimated 4,500 people marched in Brussels on Sunday for the lifting of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. The event is the culmination of a series of actions undertaken by the Belgian platform Urgence Gaza, signed by more than 50 NGOs and political movements.

Negotiators from Israel and Palestine, meanwhile, tried in vain to agree on a permanent cease-fire during a meeting in Cairo. The current cease-fire holds until 23.00 (Belgian time) Monday evening.

Fighting in Gaza has led to more than 2,000 deaths since early July, mostly Palestinians.

I think all the Christians should demonstrate in the same way, why not, because what we see, they don't care by them and Israel, just about themselves.
WE HAVE TO ORGANIZE A MARCH AGAINST IRAQ AND OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE KILLED FOR THEIR FAITH!

The only reason for the blockade is the smugglings of rockets and arms to the Hamas which is a terrorist organization!
Protesting means supporting extreme fundamentalist Muslims and welcoming
Sharia to Europe!

There are many countries where the Muslims are in minority like Romania, where conform Wikipedia: "Islam in Romania is followed by only 0.3 percent of population" What they do now, they live Romania because they will killed, or they are happy because Christians are not fanatic, and they forgive the muslims...!!!!!?????

belgium one of the worst anti israel countries in europe. swarmed by arabs and other muslims and as they are becoming a force in politics, the government especially the left, feels the need to bow, scrape and appease...
brussels-stan... one day soon you will wake up to sharia law..idiots.
If one has but the minimum of intelligence, one need to only look around at the middle east and see - one country stands out - a tiny flourishing democracy, in spite of world antisemitism, constant wars no natural resources - a leader in medicine, innovation, science, agriculture, green technology, hi tech, culture and more. show me what the arab countries have achieved. ZERO. despot, corrupt, backward, treating women as second (if not third) class citizens, cruel, bent on revenge and perpetuation the 'refugees' status...who ever heard of a third forth and fifth generation of refugees? Europe was awash with refugees after the war. people move on and settle. build their lives. but not here. not thanks to UNRA a redundant organization who's sole 'raison d'etre' is to stamp 'refugee' on each palestinian child born since 1948 in Jordan, syria, lebanon and gaza. there were 250000 to start with, 5 million now. ridiculous. living in limbo. and to all the naive, nay stupid 'european liberals' look around you. open your eyes morons, the nazis also started small...
