Mass marches held in Barcelona, Rome as anti-Israel protesters rally across Europe

[IsraelTimes] Protests also called in Madrid, Lisbon and Dublin to demonstrate against Israel’s interception of Gaza-bound flotilla, day after 2 million join general strike in Italy against war
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators marched in Barcelona, Rome and other cities on Saturday as anti-Israel rallies were held across Europa

to protest the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Protests in Spain’s second-largest city as well as in Madrid were called weeks ago, while calls for demonstrations in Rome and Lisbon followed widespread anger after Israel intercepted and detained over 470 activists on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotillas, which sought to break Israel’s naval blockade on the Hamas

-controlled Strip.
Israel and Egypt maintain the blockade to prevent arms and materials for weapons manufacturing from reaching Hamas. The flotilla carried what activists said were symbolic quantities of aid for Gaza, which they refused to bring to port in Israel for onward transport by land into Gaza.
Over 40 Spaniards, including a former Barcelona mayor, were among the activists Israel removed from the 42 Sumud boats it intercepted on Thursday and Friday.
Italia already saw more than 2 million people rally on Friday across the country in a one-day general strike to support the residents of Gaza.
Spain has seen an upsurge of support for Paleostinians and hostility to Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with its left-wing government intensifying diplomatic efforts against Jerusalem. Protests against the presence of an Israeli-owned cycling team repeatedly disrupted the Spanish Vuelta last month, while Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the destruction in Gaza a "genocide" and asked for the ban of all Israeli teams from international sporting events.
Israel firmly rejects allegations that it is carrying out genocide in Gaza. It has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities in its war against Hamas, sparked by the terror group’s massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas, including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
Barcelona’s town hall said police estimated that 70,000 turned out for Saturday’s demonstration.
People packed Barcelona’s wide Passeig de Gracia, the city’s main central boulevard. Many families turned out, along with people of all ages. Protesters carried Paleostinian flags or wore pro-Paleostinian t-shirts. Hand-held signs bore messages like "Gaza hurts me," "Stop the Genocide," and "Hands off the flotilla."
While the protests are expected to have little sway on the course of the war, demonstrators hope they could inspire other rallies and encourage European leaders to take a harder line against Israel.
A protest in Rome was also underway, organized by three Paleostinian organizations along with local unions and students. People holding banners and Paleostinian flags, chanting "Free Paleostine" and other slogans, filed past the Colosseum, taking part in a march that organizers claimed attracted hundreds of thousands of people.
On Friday, Italian unions called a general strike in support of the flotilla, with anti-Israel demonstrations across the country that attracted more than 2 million, according to organizers. The interior ministry estimated attendance at around 400,000.
Italia’s right-wing government has been critical of the protests, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting that people would skip work for Gaza just as an excuse for a longer weekend break.
Meloni blamed protesters for the insulting graffiti that appeared on a statue of the late Pope John Paul II outside Rome’s main train station, where pro-Paleostinian groups have been holding a protest picket.
"They say they are taking to the streets for peace, but then they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace. A shameful act committed by people blinded by ideology," she said in a statement.
Protests in Madrid and Lisbon were held later Saturday. There were also protests called across many other Spanish cities.
A protest was also being staged in Athens Saturday afternoon, although police believe a bigger one will take place Sunday, to coincide with a pro-Israeli one.
Elsewhere, several thousand people marched through the center of the Irish capital, Dublin, to mark what organizers said was "two years of genocide" in Gaza.
Additionally, a demonstration against Israel was held in Argentina
