While Western states pay homage to the Israeli apartheid regime in its act of genocide on the people of Palestine, the people of those states are on the streets in defiance of, and anger at, their governments' stance. Across the globe massive protests took place on Saturday 14th October demanding justice and peace for the Palestinian people. Here in the UK, London saw tens of thousands march in protest at the pending genocide of the people of Gaza, Bristol 1,500, Manchester 1,500 Liverpool similar numbers. In Scotland, Glasgow saw several thousands march through the city demanding peace and justice for the people of Palestine, similar protests took place in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dundee. It is obvious that the Western state acceptance of collective punishment on Gaza is out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent. This state stance in favour of collective punishment is contrary to international law. Yet, those states that pretend to be the defenders of democracy, turn a blind eye to the pending genocide facing the people of Gaza, innocent blood is on their hands.
