WORLDWIDE PROTESTED AGAINST ISRAELI BOMBARDMENT IN GAZA


People around the world gathered in demonstrations to express their anger at Israel’s attack on Gaza. Thousands of people gathered in Egypt, Syria and across the region, as well as in places like Chile, Spain and the United Kingdom. 
Thousands gathered in Egyptian cities on Friday to protest against Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip as Egypt's president vowed to support the enclave's people in the face of "blatant aggression".
More than 1,000 people gathered near Cairo's al-Azhar mosque after Friday prayers, many waving Egyptian and Palestinian flags.
"Gaza Gaza, symbol of pride", they chanted, and "generation after generation, we declare our enmity towards you, Israel."
In a separate protest in Beirut, dozens gathered in front of the United Nations headquarters, denouncing the Israeli offensive and calling on Arab countries to support Palestinians.
In New York's Times Square, more than one hundred people gathered to support Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
On the other side of the world in Sydney Australia, supporters of Israel stood face to face with Palestinian supporters.
And in Seoul South Korea, protesters gathered in front of the Israeli Embassy.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a group of people staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the United States' embassy to protest Israel's recent military attacks against civilians in Gaza.
