Demonstrators held up mock body bags in protest at the war in Gaza.
Activists held placards reading “Bombing hospitals is terrorism” and “It’s not conflict, it’s genocide” outside the BBC headquarters in the Pacific Quay area yesterday.
The body bags were left on the steps of the BBC building, along with a sign reading “Israel kills weans”. Bloodied “bodies” were also held up in protest, which were tagged with the BBC logo and accompanied by a sign that read “Every child’s future in Gaza lies in a body bag”.A man leading the demonstration appeared to be dressed as Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 along with Israeli leaders Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin.
Some activists painted the Palestinian flag on their faces as a gesture of solidarity and a collection was held for orphaned children. A sit-in was held at Glasgow Central Station and was attended by elderly people and babies in pushchairs and statues at a shopping centre in Govan were decorated with Palestinian flags.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
