Another pro-Palestine rally took place in the South Korean capital on Saturday, with protest chants demanding the Liberation of Palestine echoing across downtown Seoul.

Even though he is only in grade five of elementary school Chen understands the harsh reality of Israeli atrocities and American complicity.
We must condemn Israel, and when we condemn Israel, we must also condemn the United States, because the United States has been providing Israel with weapons and bombs and helps the regime slaughter innocent civilians, and therefore the United States is also a terrorist.

Supporters of Palestine were recently called in for questioning by South Korean prosecutors, just like pro-Palestine activists are targeted in Europe.
The facts of Israel's atrocities cannot be denied.
A recent report by a special committee of the United Nations, released on Thursday, puts on record what supporters of Palestinians have been stating for several months.
Israel through its indiscriminate assaults and obstruction of aid is "using starvation as a weapon of war, imposing collective punishment on the Palestinian people".
The UN report also said the term genocide may apply.
International activists want to help Palestinians stay strong.
Palestinians have been resisting Israeli occupation for the past 76 years and suffering genocide for over a year.
These demonstrations around the world will make Palestinians understand they are not alone, and we are together in fighting for the human rights of the Palestinian people.
