Hundreds join pro-Palestine protest in Rio de Janeiro to slam countries sending money, bombs to Israel
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters take to the streets of Rio de Janeiro to denounce the 'genocide' in Gaza and support for Israel by the G20 countries which are holding a two-day summit.
"So we are here to denounce the main financiers and organizers of the Palestinian genocide here at the G20 and G7 meeting where Canada, United States, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom gathered, the countries that send the money, send the bombs, send the bullet" to Israel, said one of the demonstrators Enrique.
Footage shows protesters gathering, chanting, and holding flags of various countries, including Palestine and Lebanon, as well as placards and banners in support of Gaza. Police officers were seen patrolling and detaining one of the protesters during the demonstration.
Another protester, Rabbi Weiss, a Jewish man, expressed his support for Brazilian president Inacio Luis Lula da Silva and called for the current Israeli administration under PM Benjamin Netanjahu to be removed from power.
"We are certain that he (Lula da Silva) is sympathetic with the Palestinian cause, and we are certain that he is under tremendous pressure from Zionism, and the constant threat of being attacked as anti-Semitic," he said.
The Group of 20 (G20) summit takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from November 18-19. Countries are expected to discuss trade, sustainable development, health, agriculture, energy, the environment and more during the meeting.
