European cities see vigils to oppose antisemitism and rallies seeking relief for Gaza

Associated Press  

LONDON — Thousands of people joined vigils in Berlin and London on Sunday to oppose antisemitism and support Israel, while in Paris and other cities, thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators demanded a cease-fire and relief for people in the besieged Gaza Strip. “Here in Germany, of all places,” Scholz said, vowing that “our ‘never again’ must be unbreakable.” At a vigil attended by thousands in London’s Trafalgar Square, participants held posters bearing the images of hostages and the missing. Communities Secretary Michael Gove said Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack was an act of “unparalleled evil and barbarism.” “We must stand together against it. Waving mostly Israeli, but also Swiss and German flags, the demonstrators held aloft signs that read “Children aren’t bargaining chips” or T-shirts with the words #SetThemFree. France must call for an immediate cease-fire.” Organizers — including Palestinian and Muslim groups, peace associations, workers’ and students’ unions and leftist political parties — condemned Hamas’ attack on civilians, urged the militant group to release all hostages and called for an end to Israel’s assault.
