In Washington thousands of citizens rallied in front of the White House, while in the cities of New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles there were also mobilizations in support of Palestine. 

Citizens condemned Washington's collaborationist policy with the Zionist regime and denounced U.S. governments as direct accomplices in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

 The U.S. delivers annually to the Israeli regime in Tel Aviv about 3.8 billion dollars, funds that are used for the training of its military forces, as well as the equipment used to carry out the genocide of the Palestinian people.

In the midst of the current escalation of violence, activists in the U.S. denounced that the country's corporate media, given over to Zionist propaganda, have engaged in misinformation.

According to international media, these demonstrations of support have also taken place in Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Canada, Australia and Spain.

In the city of Sydney, hundreds of people demonstrated on Monday in protest against the government support for Israel. The demonstrators carried a Palestinian flag and banners with proclamations saying "Israel is a terrorist state," "We say no to occupation" and "Freedom for Palestine."

The demonstration was called by the Sydney Palestine Action Group. In front of the Opera House, illuminated with the colors of the Israeli flag in solidarity with the victims of the attack by the Palestinian organization Hamas, the demonstrators called on the Australian government to cut its relations with Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, in Madrid, hundreds of people have also demonstrated this Monday against Israel in the Puerta del Sol square. Numerous Palestinian flags waved in front of the Casa de Correos, seat of the government of the Community of Madrid, illuminated in blue and white.

"Long live the struggle of the Palestinian people," "From the river to the sea, Palestine will win" or "It's not a war, it's a genocide" were some of the shouts chanted non-stop by the demonstrators. The rally was called by several Palestinian citizens' organizations and left-wing parties integrated in the Spanish left-wing coalition Sumar.

The intense Israeli bombardment of Gaza has left 687 Palestinians dead and more than 3,700 wounded. In Israel, some 700 people have been killed so far. This comes after dozens of Palestinian fighters attacked Israeli bases in the region on October 7, taking Israeli security forces by surprise.
