Demonstration in Brussels against Israeli atrocities in Gaza

BRUSSELS, Dec 30 (KUNA) -- An estimated 300 Arab and Belgian demonstrators gathered in front of the Israeli embassy here Tuesday afternoon to protest against the ongoing Israeli military attacks against Palestinians in Gaza.
"Israel is a terrorist state. Stop the massacres in Gaza," shouted the protestors who included many women and children.
A heavy police cordon kept the demonstrators away from the Israeli embassy which is situated in the Uccle suburb of the Belgian capital.
A Moroccan couple with a baby in arm told KUNA that they came to take part in the demonstration in spite of the freezing temperature to show solidarity with the suffering Palestinians in Gaza.
"Allah-o-Akbar," shouted some demonstrators waving Palestinian flags.
Meanwhile, many Belgian peace and human rights groups have organized a big anti-Israeli demonstration in the centre of Brussels Tuesday. (end) nk.tg KUNA 302111 Dec 08NNNN
