Various of protesters demonstrating across from the Israeli embassy STORYLINE: Thousands of protesters took part in a pro-Palestinian rally outside the Israeli embassy in Athens on Sunday. Demonstrators held up banners and placards and waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in support of Palestinians and against Israel. Some burned and stamped on depictions of the Israeli flag. “Shame to all Arabs, that no-one helps the (people of) the Gaza Strip, shame to all the Arabs,“ said one demonstrator from Gaza. Sunday's protest in Athens was held a day after tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in cities from Washington to Milan, calling for a halt to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. The marches reflected growing disquiet about the mounting civilian casualty toll and suffering from the Israel-Hamas war. Israel has been pounding Gaza with airstrikes since Hamas militants carried out an unprecedented cross-border attack on October 7, in a brutal rampage. The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war reached 9,700, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, more than 140 Palestinians have been killed in violence and Israeli raids. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, most of them in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that started the fighting, and 242 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza by the militant group. Roughly 1,100 people have left the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing since Wednesday under an apparent agreement among the United States, Egypt, Israel and Qatar, which mediates with Hamas.
