March for Palestine in Leeds [Neil Terry Photography]

PROTESTS for Palestine saw thousands of people take to the streets again on Saturday as Israel continued its brutal violence against the people of Gaza.

In London, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and other major centres, protesters demanded a ceasefire and an end to Britain’s arms sales to Israel.

Manchester Palestine supporters marched in their 54th consecutive weekly protest since Israel launched its genocidal revenge on the people of Gaza after the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October last year.
