Only 24 hours after hundreds gathered on the Place des Nations in Geneva in support of Israel, a similar number of pro-Palestinian protestors met yesterday afternoon.
Some told the press that despite the Hamas attacks, Israel doesn’t have the right to eradicate a population.
Protestors also urged Switzerland not to label Hamas a terrorist organisation – a move being considered at the moment.
Also, police in canton Basel City are preparing for a large pro-Palestinian rally later today.
They’re expecting a large turnout as the call goes out on social media.
The police have given the go ahead for the protest – but a march won’t be allowed – it will be contained on the Barfüsserplatz.
Meanwhile, the university, ETH Zurich, has forbidden a protest by Palestinian supporters. The university says it strongly condemns the Hamas attacks on Israel.
